Call me non-PC, I just don't get people who want to control the "darkside" of nature. In nature it's the strongest, shrewdest and ruthless that survive. We all watch Meerkat Manor. Flower kicked out her sister - who was pregnant. The gang Lazuli are a threat to the Whisker's family - might kill the unprotected babies. So here we are accepting this side of nature, but only because it's in Africa and it's amongst a species we don't consider "pets".
Now here, we have a concrete jungle with an ecology all it's own. We won't allow large predators just in case one of us/our children/or our pets become the prey. So how does one keep our ecosystem healthy? Poisen? Is that healthy?
We have smaller predators available. Sure, that means those particular animals who CHOOSE to be free and NOT our sterile slaves must also accept the ugly truth of life outdoors. But THAT IS THEIR CHOICE!
Does a housecat/dog CHOOSE to become sterile and forgo then end all and be all of life? Why not?
