You've obviously never seen the damage a few feral cats can do to a songbird population. There are estimates that run from 5 to 10 million songbirds are killed annually by feral cats in this country.

I've seen one single feral cat in my neighborhood kill six doves, a cardinal,two squirrels, and a few finches in one single afternoon. The really sick thing was that this cat didn't even eat them.

He preferred the food left out in a neighbors backyard. This cat was simply killing for sport.

Now before you call me a cat hater, I must tell you that I have had at least one cat in every single home I've lived in for the last 25 years.

Every single one of those cats has been neutered or spayed, and was never, ever allowed outside the home.

It's almost impossible to really run a home without a housecat.

However feral cats are incredibly destructive pests. As much as it pains me to say it, feral cats should be destroyed on sight.

Not all strays are feral.
