Published by the Bureau of Biological Survey the pamphlet described the menace that "vagrant" cats were and presented with exhaustive directions the scematics for building a trap to humanely catch the said cats. The problem came with the follow-up explanation for how to get rid of the cats i. e. three alternate but equally barbaric methods involving carbon disulphide calcium cyanide and/or a body of water. The authors did warn the readers that the mentioned chemicals were "highly explosive and extremely toxic." In 1885 - 86 Congress established the Office of Economic Ornithology in the Department of Agriculture to study the migratory patterns and feeding habits of birds and to conserve their population to manage wildlife refugees to oversee predators etc. It would be renamed the Bureau of Biological Survey in 1905.
