Help the feral cats!!

Because of the gigantic population of the feral cats, society has a hard time trying to find ways to deal with them. Up to $50 million in a single state can be spent on cat-related expenses for shelters and animal control. Sadly, many shelters kill a large number of these cats due to their constantly expanding population. The alternative to this, which I find needs to happen in all cases, is to spay/neuter these cats. It would actually be less expensive for the government if the cats were caught, the procedure was performed and then they were released, rather than spending money on putting all these homeless animals down. It is just instinct for these cats to reproduce and it is up to us to control that. It's unjust for these cats to die a long, painful death due to starvation rather than having a quick procedure that would let them continue on with their lives and hopefully give them a better chance of finding a home. It's not hard to advocate for this cause...it's as easy as signing a petition such as this one. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/1/Save-6-Toes
