because cats deserve to be treated better

Because I am a Vet and disagree with the m
moralities and logistics of this policy. It is lazy and serves no one.

Releasing stray cats back on the streets perpetuates the problem that already exists.
Cats are a very significant threat to our local wildlife - the average stray cat in Australia kills around 260 native animals/reptiles/birds every year
Female stray cats produce 15 - 30 Kittens every year which escalates the numbers of stray cats (each one killing wildlife) living on the streets or in the bush.
No species of cat has ever been native to Australia, so our wildlife have not adapted their habits or instincts over the generations to cope with this apex predator.
It is cruel to release sick, juvenile cats back onto the streets where they will likely die of injury, illness or starvation - this is reprehensible.
