Why do peta have a problem with feral cats?

Question

I am right in thinking that feral cats mean household type cats that live in the wild? Why does peta oppse them? They are self sufficient. Fair enough some of them are manky looking with fleas etc but is that not just natural if animals are living rough?

Answer 1

its because they are house cats thats what they know  they are used to going to a food dish and if u just put them out in the wild they would get confused adn not eaet  

Answer 2

maybe because they aren't fixed and can reproduce so many litters of new feral cats.

Answer 3

PETA likes to pick and choose the animals that it protects.  I am not a fan ...

Answer 4

Cause PETA opposes everything

And spaying and neutering as many cats as possible will NEVER eradicate the species cause there will ALWAYS be more out there breeding and irresponsible owners

Answer 5

PETA is the terrorists of the animal world, you will never understand their logic.

they will poison hunting dogs to stop a hunt.

and, you are a correct, a feral cat is a cat that was born and raised in the wild and lives like a wild animal. they can be tamed.

a stray is a recently abandoned house cat that is trying to survive in the wild. strays will let a human pet them. they will beg a human for food.

Answer 6

Household cats out in the wild pose a few problems.  They aren't fixed so they have huge litters.  They kill native birds, some which could be getting near extinct.  They can get different diseases or sick and spread that around.

Answer 7

It has been shown that if you have feral cats in the neighborhood, it is best to have them fixed and then return them to the same neighborhood. When feral cats realize their population is low, they will start reproducing like crazy to make up for less cats. We humanely capture cats, get them fixed, (many times at no cost since they are feral) and then return them to their neighborhood. PETA has actual terrorists on their payroll http://www.animalrights.net/articles/200...
