You think it's cruel and inhumane to neuter a male cat to prevent disease and painful abcesses that cause a painful death? And stops the transmission of FIV (feline aids) and feline luekemia. You think it's better they die a slow painful death because of human negligence? You think it's better that a mother cat bring litter upon litter into the world and then die a slow painful death by age 2? A feral cat can hope to live to the age of 2 maybe 3 with luck without human interferance. They live horrible miserable lives. The domestic cat is NOT a wild cat. They are completely different. Just ask any conservation centre which is trying to keep real wild cats from going exctinct and from being interbred with our domestic cats for designer breeds such as the bengel.
Now if you still think this form of prevention iss cruel, your weird.
I call shenanigans on you for this.
1.) If a cat gets some STD so be it, I hope you don't go neutering people so they don't get STD's. Wild animal, not native to the area true, but wild animal.
2.) Feral cats can lead long, long lives. Same as any wild animal, while not as long as a domestic cat I fail to see the point. Wild horses do not lead as long as tame horses and can get sick and injured just the same, but no one would suggestion rounding up all the wild mustangs.
Feral cats can live generations without human interference, I grew up a country kid in farm country and there were plenty of wild cats who never came around humans at all, they are well equiped to live in the wild.
Contrary to popular belief nature is full of food, it is literally made of food (even for people). In fact the whole problem with feral cats is that they are TOO well equiped. They are TOO sucessfuly in nature. The lead long fruitful lives and have many, many kittens (who in turn have even more kittens). IN doing so they destroy the natural ecosystem.
