Geez! No one is talking about extermination of cats. It just makes common sense to keep your cat indoors. Mine is not allowed outside unless we have him on a tether.
Even at 12 our cat is still a deadly hunter, and I appreciate that skill in my house when the mice come indoors, but I find it reprehensible that people let cats out to kill off wildlife for no good reason.
They never start by stating their real goals.
The solution is getting all the cats fixed. People leave them behind when they move, dump them or cats get loose and populate neighborhoods. The humane and right solution is to do TNR (what I do) and fine people who breed or don’t get their pets fixed. Then the problem will get under control. Trapping and killing them is inhumane, cruel and will not stop the problem. SPAY AND NEUTER!!! NO BREEDING!
