Hi, I am not from US, and in my country there are no shelters for cats, so stray cats are in the streets, people feed them, but of course disease and accidents often kill them young. Some of them manage to have long lives too, though, because in every neighbourhood there are people who take them to the vet, neuter them, etc.
I realised that in the US these cats are taken in shelters and put in cages, and if they are not adopted they are killed! I think this is horrible and animal lovers should not accept it. Sure I am not in favour of cats living in streets, but it's life, they never asked to be killed! I mean considering that shelters are supposed to be helping them! In addition, my main argument is that shelters hide the problem of unwanted kittens from the eyes of the general public (since thousands of homeless cats are not wandering around) and contribute to irresponsible owners, who breed their cats.If there were 10 kittens in their yard, maybe they'd decide against creating more
