Feeding feral cats and government handout programs share the same nature. They appear compassionate and give people a feeling they are doing good but unseen is the bloodshed and misery produced by the unintended consequences from such actions.

Shows how much you know about either subject. True feral cats have no contact with humans. Most feral cats hunt and forage with no help. If anyone is feeding a feral, it is enjoying a easy meal.

If everyone stop feeding ferals today, they would continue to exist and their numbers would not reduce.

That is like saying we should not stock bird feeders cuz bird numbers are too high...LOL

So people who rely on welfare are feral animals that can't feed themselves, and deserve to starve?

There's compassion for you.

I feed feral cats. They pay me back by keeping the rodent population under control on my mini-farm.
Sure, they catch a bird now and then, but so does the sharp-shinned hawk that hangs out around here.
That is Nature at its finest!

Ridiculously stupid argument. See plenty of feral cats right around the plant I work. Idiots do feed them, just like idiots vote for government programs that subsidize the birthing of bastards and the resulting crime and poverty that comes with it.

Keep sticking your head in the sand compassionate one.

I thought feral cats were game animals.

A good marinade and they can be quite tasty.

straw man fallacy. That is not what OP said.

I have made the same argument when it comes to the ducks at the park where I go jogging. It seems almost instinctive for people to want to feed them, but the parks people have access to wildlife biologists. The biologists have concluded that people feeding the ducks only produces increased duck-misery in the long run. They put up signs warning people not to feed the ducks, but of course people do it anyway.

The little girl feeding the duck can't see that long run misery; she only sees a cute hungry duck gobbling up her pieces of bread.

It's more like taking in feral cats and feeding them, allowing them to breed out-of-control and keep feeding the offspring and allowing them to breed out of control. That's exactly what welfare handouts are doing.

We've become like the cat lady that they find with 200 cats that she can no longer feed.

You mean that's LIBERAL compassion for you -- a very large and growing group of helpless utterly dependent people who can't feed themselves or the many children they are having.

We are feeding them now but in many places the births to welfare households now outnumber births to taxpayers.
