I understand that feeding ferals without doing anything else for them is irresponsible. But people who speuter and stabilize feral colonies shouldn't have to put up with PETA's arrogance. They are never going to make this a world of all-inside animals, what they should be doing is realizing that rather than killing animals under the excuse -- and it is just that -- that they're saving them from some future agony. Yes, the life of an outside feral can be short, and it hurts me that each and every one doesn't get the love they should be getting, but they should not be deprived of life just to fulfill this inflexible agenda.
I helped trap two feral kittens in August, and tamed them down. At the moment one is lying 3 feet from me, and the other is on top of the cat tree. If I were sitting on the couch, one would certainly have come and flopped into my lap, and the other would be pushing my hand for pets. They couldn't be more trusting. It saddens me that PETA is depriving ferals of a chance at a future nice life with someone willing to put in a few months bonding time, or even a nice life being regularly fed in a colony, just because THEY think that all ferals do is suffer and die.

They object to people feeding strays or ferals. They round up all the strays and ferals they can and euthanize them. They also take cats from animal shelters and euthanize them. How absolutely infuriating that they ignored your e-mail and had the audacity to request a donation!
