Saw this on my way to the bus stop.
Would you feed feral kittens in an urban environment? Assume that you cant adopt them later and that they will not starve if you dont feed them.

Here's what to do:
>Feed the cats for a few days to earn their trust
>When they let you close enough, grab them and put them in a sack
>Place some rocks in the sack and tie up the top of the sack
>Throw sack in river
>Feel good knowing how much wildlife you've just saved.
buy a small bag of cat food and toss a couple of hand fulls their way

When they're grown, call animal services to have them sterilized.
Trap and euthanize, the world doesn't need more feral cats
Why can't I adopt them? What is preventing me from just finding them new homes? Do I now live in a 3rd world country?

Why don't you find new homes for all the cats already in rescue?

Fine. Adopt them, neuter and spay them, and keep them indoors.
Third world countries (and most shit cities in the first world) are the ones that have tons of feral cats running around.

before you throw it in the river be sure to smash it against the ground several times.
you can also wrap one in a towel and strangle it to death to see if youre into that shit. make sure it is wrapped up first though because it will scratch you otherwise.

I was asking from my own perspective, I already have 2 cats and my apartment isnt big enough for more.
>>2129333
Why can't I try both? Obviously no matter how many I, as one person can try to save rehome will not put even the slightest dent in the population but its not a big deal to me to scoop up a kitten off the street. Most at worst just need flea treatment, maybe antibiotics for a respiratory infection and need to be spayed/neutered.

Not even temporary/lock it in the bathroom? If you can catch it, you can just put up an ad on craigslist looking for help. Or find a shelter/rescue asking if they will take it. Even if it gets euthanized it's better than just leaving it.

Jeez where does the one kitten end and the other begin??
Its like looking into a two headed pool of blackness.
