Feral dogs threaten people and are a bit more than pests.

Agreed.

A city near me eliminated most of the stray/feral cats and soon became overrun with rodents. I didn't hear what they did other than stop the program.

"That's not chicken in your Chicken Chow Mein.... "

And it's probably not cat, either. Now, if Fido turns up missing, there's a clue.

There are groups such as Operation Catnip, who will provide cages for you to trap the cats; then the traps are rounded up, the cats are neutered/spayed and vaccinated against rabies and distemper and released back to where they live. Then the cat colony will remain alive, but won't reproduce; the trick is to spay/neuter all of them.

If you see a feral cat with a notch cut in one of his ears, it's been spayed or neutered and vaccinated.

Military Rule #1: Clear the Area of All Bomb-Sniffing Cats (yes, cats)

"Wait a minute... That's not my rubber birdie. That's a bomb!" Nope, wrong again. "That's a flash bang!" (No wonder the cat was confused).

KABUL (AFGHANISTAN) —
The highly guarded US Embassy in Afghanistan's capital and a wandering cat with a keen snout were in for one heck of a surprise when the calm of an afternoon gave way to an explosion that could be heard throughout the embassy neighborhood and all sorts of chaos.

Embassy spokesman John Kincannon told the Associated Press that an explosion last week was triggered when a cat wandered up to a warning device, known as a "flash-bang", which was one of several set up along the embassy's perimeter to guard against intruders.

"The cat lived, but it was a very frightened cat," he said.

Wild cats kill a lot of wildlife, particularly birds. I do not like the idea of turning them loose. They can be killed humanely and controlled, like any wild predator which is getting out of hand. I have shot coyotes, feral dogs, and feral cats. Before I killed a bunch of feral cats, the area around my country house was a virtual dead zone...I would find piles of feathers around the place.

The problem lies with so called cat lovers who don't spay and neuter their pets. Then the people who have to live with the problems created are blamed when they deal with the problem.

No. Anything less than 40 pounds is a "pooch". 40+ pounds is a "dog".

At Vandenberg ABF (formally Camp Cook), there was and is a severe rattlesnake problem. Many years ago, the Army released a number of pigs. Apparently, pigs will eat snakes. Nowadays, Vandenberg is still rattlesnake central, but there is some excellent feral pig hunting, Base Commander permitting.
