Your bleeding heart humanitarian arguments are typical of the leftist couch potatoes sitting here in the United States who have no idea of the realities of life in Australia and their current battles against feral cats, wild dogs and the infestation of cane toads..........
Educate yourself before you post your bleeding heart nonsense........Sheesh!
Ok, then whey doesn’t the government launch a spay and neuter campaign. Turning kids loose to hunt them can go wrong. What if some kid goes into somebodies yard with a weapon and goes after somebody’s pet cat and that pet owner turns around not knowing what the hell is going on and uses the weapon on the kid.
The Government of Australia if it is serious can use funds to pay animal control groups to capture feral cats take them to a vet and spay and neuter them. The Population can be brought under control that way.
