You realize that we're in Pennsylvania and not Australia, yeah? If you think the two situations are comparable then you need to explain yourself.

The second two are behind paywalls but the first says nothing about euthanasia and the second says that it's effective in certain situations but that TNR is effective in others. So which article is the basis of your claim that euthanasia is more effective than TNR for controlling feral cat populations? The one that doesn't mention it or the one that says it's only effective in situations where TNR isn't?

Scroll back in the conversation. You'll find lots of questions that I've asked about how the kitty genocide is supposed to proceed that were never answered.

Oh, were you not agreeing with the guy who said that people should be able to go out and kill ferals? My bad. You guys just sound so similar and I didn't see anyone tell him that his ideas were garbage so...

That doesn't prove that killing them is effective. And you haven't proven that any solution I've suggested is 0% effective.

You're assuming that because I'm arguing with you about how to solve the problem that I don't think there is a problem. I just don't agree that the solution is killing cats. Either you're intentionally building a straw man or your emotions are interfering with your reading comprehension. Would you like to try again?

You never provided evidence. Or a cogent argument. Or answers to a number of my questions. Don't bullshit me.

Dude, you're advocating for citizens to go out and shoot outside cats. Don't fucking lecture me about being cruel.

Insulting someone after failing to prove your claims just makes you look like a sore loser.

He didn't suggest that they be supervised. He suggested they be killed on sight. You think it's a good idea to have citizens empowered to kill stray animals?

Y'know, in some areas of the country, there is a great need for the reduction of some of the cat's natural prey. For instance, our cities are great examples of rats running wild. There are programs now to introduce feral cats into these areas where their hunting talents are useful for getting rid of pests. I've also been to breweries and campsites that have working feral cats on hand to deal with pests. But, I guess that's not as fun as killing cats?

I'm sorry that your searches have been fruitless.

Also, you do know that those vintage stores go to local thrift stores and pick through all the good shit, right? When you pay higher prices at a vintage store, you're basically paying someone to buy up cheap thrift store stuff and sell it to you in a fancy boutique.

None of that is actually proof. It's just more of you insisting you're right without evidence. And, unless you have evidence you just sound like a sociopath who wants an excuse to kill cats.

That's not what anthropomorphize means. You're literally saying "we attribute human characteristics to them over all other wildlife". That doesn't make sense in this context.

It hasn't solved the issue but killing off the feral population has? Tell me when that occurred. Also, are you saying that TNR hasn't improved the situation either? Do you have evidence of that?

So, unless I have an easy solution that will fix everything immediately then it's worthless? And, do you have any proof that killing feral cats would be a silver bullet? How would that be carried out, by the way? Do you imagine this to be a governmental operation that goes around picking up and picking off ferals? Or, volunteer run? And, do you actually imagine that there are as many cowardly sociopathic cat killers to take out ferals as there are cat loving volunteers to do TNR who aren't afraid of a ten pound animal like you apparently are? And, what's the longevity of such a plan? Do you imagine that you'd just create a kitty genocide and never have to do it again? Let me ask you this, has anyone else ever tried killing ferals in order to reduce the population, and how well has that worked?

Not all animals are equal. Fucking duh.

Feral cats don't belong in shelters, and they shouldn't be killed just because you're afraid of and don't understand them. You're a cruel coward.

Plato's Closet is always a good one. Repurposed for the Thrifty Shopper has a great clothing selection (1-2 racks of brand new stuff). The St. Vincent dePauls tend to have pretty good prices but not the best selection. I also recommend Red, White, and Blue but their prices can be a bit higher and they are usually packed! I've found some good finds at Community Thrift Center also.

I've thrifted all over the US (and world), and I think we have some of the best. The abundance and content of the stores is both very good. My only issue is with the price.

Well, it worked on you. Instead of doing something important and useful, you're whining on the internet.

Maybe the legislature should try whining on the internet, like you. I'm sure that'll change something!

How would you make feral cats illegal?

That's a terrible reason.

Everyone thinks they're smarter than they are. Including law enforcement.

Personally, I'd love to see campaigning legally prohibited until the 4 weeks before the election.
