Feral cats are everyone’s responsibility. Just because an irresponsible person takes a cat into the country thinking it will fend for itself, the cat, an animal we bred to domestication, is not at fault and must be cared for.
At the very least, they need to be spay/neutered and fed on a regular basis.
Yes, and I do my part. I’ve adopted some strays, and gotten some semi-strays fixed, and I keep a bowl of dry cat food on my back porch (great for luring cats in close enough to find out if they’re fixed).
People caught dumping pets should be hauled off to the animal shelter and kept in a cage eating dog or cat food for a week or so. And then fined big time on their way out.
