So, I've got a question here. Why is it so important to save the cute
little kitties but ignore the issues of the strain they put on the
wildlife population (which may not have the advantage of being cute)?

I love cats and I don't like them being needlessly put to sleep, but let's
be honest here. There are way more cats than homes, and those cats do put
strains on wildlife populations and catching, spaying, and releasing
sounds nice but you still have those cats out there killing the
wildlife plus you'll never be able to spay/neuter them all (it's easier
and quicker to just shoot them therefore you would rpobably be able to
get more of them that way). It sounds cruel but sometimes it is the best
option.

You're better off trying to spend your energy trying to convince people to
spay/neuter their pets and be dedicated to the pets they take in so you
don't have them releasing their cats to the wild when they are tired of
them. Address the overpopulation problem and maybe one day we won't have
this large amount of cats putting strains on the wildlife that we have to
kill.

That was the entire point of my letter to them, but exactly what I don't see
going on in their "campaign". They are just going to have perpetual cat
hunting season if they don't fix the actual problem. Native Floridians have
told me how there old boy conversations have been recorded about how fun
"cat shooting" is going to be. These have been reported in major FL
newspapers. So, the main point I guess is fix the problem and second,
shooting cats for fun doesn't sound very damn humane to me.
