Disneyland
Cats are released into Disneyland at night for rodent control and rounded up in the morning.
Infact verdict: Mixed (48/100).
The claim that hundreds of cats are released into Disneyland at night for rodent control is partially true. Evidence shows that Disneyland has a population of around 200 cats that roam the grounds to control rodents, but they are not 'released' each night; they live there permanently. The claim that cats are rounded up in the morning lacks evidence. The cats are managed with feeding stations and are free to roam as they please. No evidence supports the idea that they are systematically rounded up each morning.
