" Well trap them then. You've heard of farm cats surely."
Yes, My grandparents had one to control the rat population.
However your comment isn't a solution. You have to trap them. Then you have to feed them. And provide medical care. All this costs money. I sure as hell don't want my tax dollars paying for it.
Plus, many of these cats are so far removed from domestic situations that they are not suitable for adoption.
Posts like this remind me of the ninnies who are opposed to deer hunts and instead wish to provide birth control for deer. Guess what, that doesn't work, either.
Giving the cats "the shot" instead of shooting them, works just fine.
You dont have to, take them to PAWS or another no-kill animal shelter. Its what I do. Its free and the animal gets another chance at life.
I never understood how they were going to force those deer to wear condoms. :-)
