Note: Not my words, this is peta’s words. I’m just the messenger.
An international animal rights organization believes the free-roaming cats that live under this borough’s boardwalk would be better off with a lethal injection than having to spend all their nine lives in the cruel outdoors.

In a letter to Mayor Anthony Vaz last week, the People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals says the group supports the borough’s recent decision to end its trap-neuter-release program, which allows feral cats to live outside after they’ve been spayed or neutered.

Well, these goes the loacl cat population. Morons. Does anyone actually take PETA seriously at this point?

Death is better then freedom? That is ethical? No that is evil.

I'm not a friend of PETA at all - but domesticated cats, ferral and free roaming pets, are a massive ecological problem. Actually it is already irresponsible to let your pet cat out: Felis silvestris is a solitary apex predator who needs massive territories in the wild to keep his small prey on a sustainable level and keeps members of the same species away whenever possible.
Free roaming pet cats are constantly fighting for this reason, the intraspecific stress is immense because the population density is magnitudes higher than it would be in the wild, and because of their strong hunting instincts domesticated cats are killing off wild prey even if they are fed at home - prey which is already vulnerable in settled areas. In my home town whole species of birds disappeared because the population density of pet cats was too high - and there haven't even been additional ferral cats. They figured out how to get the bird's hatchlings directly out of the bird houses and even managed to overcome obstacles and barriers specifically designed to save the birds.
In addition most cat owners are not aware that in many places legislation against poaching pets is applied. In germany any ranger or hunter who meets a cat more than 300 meters away from the next fenced private property and especially in the woods is expected to shoot it, and such laws to save the environment from pressure caused by way too much predators is not unusual. Another problem is that the very small population of actual european wildcats is corrupted by interbreeding with straying domesticated cats - what hunting and habitat destruction haven't been able to achieve the domesticated cat did: the genuine Felis silvestris silvestris is threatened by extinction more than ever.
If a cat owner loves environmental diversity as well as his cat he keeps it inside.

While all you are saying is correct, we are talking here about a free living wild population in an urban area, a bit of a different thing, so to speak. That population of free, feral cats in and of itself is essential to vermin control for just one example. These populations can of course become a problem when out of proportion but that’s why the neuter and release program is the most optimal one.

I hope the imbeciles at PETA are wondering why everyone loathes them. Although if it’s notoriety they’re after, they got it.

Someone remind me again, how are these peons in any way, shape or form, “ethical?”

Fk you too, PETA! Damn you lot to damnatio ad bestias!
*turns thumb down*

Let me remind everyone here that Ingrid Newkirk went on rampages of euthanasia at her first job. She’d even come in to work early purely to kill more animals to “liberate them from a life of pain”.

There’s a kind of serial killer called an “Angel of Death”. It’s where someone kills others in large numbers out of a desire to liberate them from pain.

I’m willing to bet if you excavated Ingrid’s house, you’d discover a lot of skeletons and decomposing corpses.

I’m suddenly curious if she’s a fan of philosophers in the vein of Schopenhauer and Mainländer (no, not the incel, his namesake).

PETA believes that domesticated animals in general are better off dead than “enslaved”.

Also Newkirk had a frankly bizarre will and testament, including having her eye mailed to some group so they can "know she is always watching them".

I wonder if she also outlined what people should do with the top secret taxidermy corpses in her house...

PETA is for mass euthanasia because they want to fund their propaganda campaigns.

So PETA either wants to kill the cats or disable the ability for them to produce offspring before letting them run wild. In other words, PETA is going to cause the Domestic Cat (Felis Catus) to go extinct. Good job, PETA.
