Yes they are a nuisance and pests. Feral cats are devastating to the local environment, they decimate bird populations and threaten public health. It is okay if we have 1-2 of these excellent predators per square mile, but in urban areas, there are hundreds of cats per square mile. While the what exactly is the best method to control this problem is debatable, I don't think China has any choice.Originally Posted by Rosiemac
So basically what your saying is that the feral cats that so many people here on the site look after are a nuisance and a pest?.
I am afraid China doesn't have a lot of resource to spend on cats, and they certainly can't afford to set up nice little "humane traps" with tasty tuna baits to lure the cats in. The country still needs to improve education and provide better health care to hundreds of millions of impoverished farmers, which they are trying to do. Forget the cats, and let China takes care of its people first.It's certainly not humane in the way their capturing them!. I had to remove a video in this thread because it was too upsetting. I had to see the animals being thrown from the top of a truck in those cages, not to mention how they were kicking the cages and prodding the animals with rods!
