You know the reason it's a feral cat, is because people let the cats roam free. It's the result of people neglecting their pets and letting them roam to begin with.

This a compounding issue and people are justifying loose feral cats, because they found a loose feral cat so it must remain feral.

Barn cats with a job on a farm in the country are obviously a different story, my issue is more directed at the cats roaming in urban neighbourhoods, with no purpose/job.

Picture your neighbourhood with feral dogs..you'd be annoyed/upset/scared when you come across one taking a massive dump on your lawn and it gets defensive about its territory. Cats are realistically no different but somehow socially accepted. It makes no sense.
