Just want to start by saying, this is NOT something I'd ever do or or recommend at all! I LOVE CATS! Just a discussion.
But little background info, was speaking with a few members at an Animal Rescue shelter and they were telling me how bad the cat population currently is and how they simply can't keep up with the amount of stray and abandoned cats. People are simply not getting their cats fixed and they are reproducing uncontrollably. Plus it's hard to find owners/buyers due to the fact sites like Kijiji and Craigslist people are simply giving them away for free.
One member joked that we might have to start feeding them to snakes. It was a joke but just got me thinking and thought it could be something to discuss.
One could argue, what makes a life of a cat more precious than a hamster, rat, rabbit...
And by doing it, you'd be feeding a snake and reducing the population of cats.
But what do you guys think, if a cat had the nutritional value and there was a population issue, could you do it?
Of course live is out of the question and that would be disgusting but as much as I want to say no, I think if a cat was humanly killed and you could buy them frozen that it would be something I'd consider because we definitely have a cat issue due to irresponsible owners.
Opinions?
