"Please don't kill the cats."
"This barbaric method of tackling the problem of feral cats has been replaced in most communities in the U.S. now by the TNR approach. It is much less costly and more humane. But most importantly, it works whereas trap-euthanize does not."
"What an ignorant way to "solve" this problem! Put some thought into it and I'm sure there's a better, more humane solution (such as the one recommended)."

"Please do not kill these cats. This is something I know myself and many others feel very strongly about. There were a lot of stray cats around my neighborhood when I first moved in and I was able to catch, tame and find homes for them. Spaying and neuteri"
"there are better and more humane ways to deal with this problem!!!"
"I am an officer in a local animal shelter and have seen what a successfull spay/neuter program can do. Ferals are successfully controled by spaying and neutering."
