As a cat owner I fully agree with this. Pets should generally be kept in ways that don´t threaten wildlife. However I would also prefer that cats who stray around don´t get killed but instead caught, spayed, sheltered and adopted.

TNR works, as feral cats often cannot be adopted past a certain age, they just won't let humans near them willingly. But there isn't a need to kill cats for not wanting to be adopted, they can be fed and over time their population can be dramatically reduced, it just requires actual commitment to the program and free access to spay and neutering services to the public.

Sure my dude, I will support any method that is humane and avoids killing :)
