Why spend the money fixing these feral cats? This sounds harsh, but why not put them down? These feral cats must hunt for food, if one gets sick then that one cat will spread the disease to the others, which in turn can go onto anyone's property and endanger the domestic cats. It seems more humane to put them down. What is the reason for cutting the ear? Also, the money spent fixing these animals may be better spent keeping animal shelters open and helping animals that have a chance at adoption.
