Kittens For Food?

[zina10]

Of course they have survival instincts, who doesn't ?

Dogs have been known to eat their dead owners as well, does it make dogs bad or ok to run a loose dog over when on the street? I find the statement incredibly ignorant (not yours, the cops)

Does it make it ok to purposely run snakes over ? Because they hunt, eat and kill ?

As a matter of fact, even humans ate humans when it came to survival. One only has to remember the case of the airplane that went down over the snowy Andes mountains. (they ate friends and family members..) So, should we run over people too?

I think feral cats are a huge problem, that is for sure. It starts with the irresponsibility of people. I don't even let my pet cat roam outside. As a matter of fact I think it is absolutely shameful how people think its perfectly ok to let their pet cats roam outside to poop into other peoples flowerbeds, to mark on their homes, to jump around on their cars and to kill countless songbirds. Yet, look at most cat owners. They will argue to the death how its perfectly normal and absolutely necessary for a cat to roam outside. No, it is not. It is laziness on the owners part. Its easier to let them out then to clean litter boxes or TRAIN your cat not to destroy your furniture or actually ENTERTAIN your cat some so it isn't so bored.

I don't let my dogs or horse roam, and they wouldn't mind a stroll outside, either.

It all comes down to people. Yes, the problem of feral and released cat needs to be addressed. IMHO it starts with making people responsible for their animals. Spay and neuter programs in the meanwhile.

For all the before mentioned problems I don't see feeding them off to snakes a good or even possible solution. It wouldn't do our hobby or snakes any good whatsoever.

As is, many euthanized pets DO end up in petfood. And pets have died because of it (euth. drugs in food).
