In most places, feral cats are an invasive species that do great harm to local wildlife, especially bird populations. I know it is possible to be a responsible pet owner who keeps the cat indoors, but many don't. This law may be poor answer to the problem (or even have negative unintended consequences) but I'm glad people somewhere are starting to take a stand.
- someplaceguy 3y agoSure, but I really don't think that's the reason for why the law was introduced in this case. The reason cats are being sterilized is, supposedly, "to avoid indiscriminate reproduction and possible abandonment" of the cats themselves. The law is called "Animal welfare law" and it's only about pets and their owners. It has nothing to do with endangered or invasive species or even any other type of environmental concern.
