I like cats, I have a pet cat.
I also had a pet raccoon growing up. Raccoons make AMAZING pets, loyal, friendly, tame (and really smart).
But a wild Cat is much the same as a wild Raccoon. It is not friendly and it is NOT a pet.
The problem is even worse in some areas, Feral cats are a major plague in australia. They roam around a giant litterbox killing massive amounts of endangered animals, not to eat, just for fun (cats do that, especially feral cats).
I love cats, but a wild cat is not a pet. Its a pest, a dangerous disease carrying one. The same as a raccoon.

so we should just go ahead and kill them? do we have to kill any animal that dosent fit our defintion of being a pet?
It's an unfortuante truth that many pet owners out there are irresponsible enough to allow their cats to go astray and reproduce constantly. As nice as cats are as pets, they can also be a danger, being carriers of disease when left untreated on the streets.
I see euthanizing them as a good means of reducing the problem of stray cats. If there were enough homes to go around for them all then that would be a wonderful thing, but sadly that is not the case. Many people out there would rather buy a cute and cuddly kitten from the pet store than some old, grungy looking stray. The cats, I believe, would be better off in death than starving on the streets of cities, a danger to us as well as other animals.
The idea of hunting them is somewhat amusing to me, but at the same time I can see why some would be disgusted by it. We tend to think of cats as cuddly pets, not vicious animals.
For the record, I've adopted two cats that were once in the animal shelter. When I can afford it I adopt as many unwanted pets as I can. My mother has an even bigger heart for strays, as she has about 7 cats, many many birds and a dog.

Hunters should hunt themselves. Round up the hunters so they shoot at each other. Problem solved.
Other than the problem of feral cats bringing disease, and busting population cycles on other game.
So I guess we should all support the cattle farms that provide us with less-nutrient rich meat raised in filthy conditions instead of taking advantage of the wild game that provides us with better nutrients and keeps the game population down.
same thing happens with stray dogs. When idiots can't look after their own pets, they reproduce, become feral and become not only a PITA but often dangerous as well. Then there's not much choice but to kill them.
Not to mention that feral animals disrupt the indigenous inhabitants. Didja know some idiot introduced beavers to the bottom end of SouthAm? http://www.wcs.org/international/latinamerica/southerncone/tierradelfuego
Remember the flap about bunnies?
BC has several different subspecies of salmon, so why would we need some idiot to introduce Atlantic salmon to our waters and why would the people that farm Atlantics not give a crap about screwing up the indigenous salmon populations?

Unfair and arogant.
did you know that in canada active and passive euthanasia is illegal. The supreme court of canada decided that it is not up to any other person to decide when someone else dies. Even if someone is terminal and in a coma, no one else in the world is aloud to say "lets kill that person now" because we dont know if they want to die or not.
What gives us the right to decide that we are more important than any other thing on this earth? just because we are smarter and have control doesnt give us the right to kill them. Long ago in some countries it was legal to kill your wife because men believed that they were property and that it was ok. Now im not saying its the same thing at all, but it shows how far things come and maybe back then they didnt realize that woman didnt deserve that.
We are the ones who originally domesticated cats and some other animals and i think that makes us morally obligated now to make sure that we arnt just going to kill them or let them die because we screwed up their survival methods. That is shallow and self centered.
What if there was something out there that was smarter and more powerfull then us, if we stopped being able to take care of ourselves on our own does that make it ok to kill us? i have a feeling that none of us would apretiate that so how does it make it right to do that to another living creature?
Now dont think that i am posting this because im some huge cat lover. i hate cats (sorry) i am alergic to them and they bother me. but it doesnt mean i think we should kill them or put ourselves above them in any way.

Once again we're shown that few creatures can act in this manner. As we stretch our minds and abilities to the very limit in the name of progress and discovery, so too is there a race for the bottom and our lowest common denominator.
If in a field there grew a single perfect flower that was to be the saviour of all things, our response would be to club it and throw it's wasted carcas down on the very spot it grew from. Then loudly proclaim that it is a beautiful weedless field.

Seriously.
I know they are "cute" and "cuddly" when domesticated. But anyone who has ever found a field cat, they are not. They are wild animals and dangerous ones. A feral cat is not "helpless" or "domesticated", it is a wild animal not at all cuddly or influenced by humans.
To treat it different than any other wild animal is absurd. You will raise a cow from birth then hit it in the head with a hammer and gut it in a factory...
but take a vicious wild animal thats causing problems in your region for other species or game, and your a monster cause its the same breed as your pet.
Racoons make good pets too, a wild racoon is still dangerous and can spread rabies and so may need hunting.

Of course that we've caused the problem doesn't enter into the equation now does it? No one is about to make a law that brings proper management of domesticated pets into line and force owners to take responsibility for them. No chance that we would spend any money on initiating and sustainable solution to cat over population. It's not at all shocking to see that the typical numbskull reaction come up with something that at once puts everyone endanger and will inevitably cause some "moonbats" to go shoot their neighbor's cat.
Real hunters don't hunt pets.
