Yeah, okay. So much less cruel to just trap and kill them all. Unless you've got a secret cat utopia where they can all go to.

The problem is there already. People adopting and keeping them indoors is not the problem.

A real solution would be better laws and enforcement involving cat breeders and people who let cats roam and reproduce freely. Or all the assholes around the time COVID lockdowns who figured they could just adopt temporarily and then abandon their pets.

Actually yeah that might be needed in some ecosystems. Having cats indoors doesn't guarantee they won't escape unfortunately. It should probably be illegal to buy and breed cats in many places around the world. Laws requiring they all be neutered would also help. I know Spain spays and kills feral cats regularly.

We need to find better, more sustainable, more local animals to replace them with.
