Some of the people's comments:
Some hate cats and some , like me , just loves all of them ...
Do you give in to hate or love ??
Kill because you have the power to ...
or respect the life of an animal and live in harmony with it ...
Is your survey a fool proof democratic tool for determining the majority decision ?
If 50 people want the cats dead for no good reason and one little child loves the little stray kitten that brings her joy and teaches her to care for other living things ...
Can your survey determine the ethics of your decision to cull ??
I believe it is ignorant , skewed and blind.
The survey is obviously flawed and biased. The cat caregivers have done more for their neighbourhood than the complainants. It is a shame that their efforts are overlooked, while the TCs rush to pander to the complainants. Let's see what they can do for their own neighbourhood instead of merely complaining all the time.
Compassion is sadly lacking in our society these days, to the extent that people are persecuting ruthlessly the lives of just 3 cats. Are we getting too self-centred for our own good?
Killing is not a solution! We should be working together for better solutions, and not against each other. How can we claim to be a gracious society if we can't let live 3 cats which are already sterilised and maintained under a humane society?
Kindness begets kindness. Please allow the care givers to rectify this 'problem' and please stop the killing of innocent lives.
Efforts have been made (and still ongoing) to help reduce the cat population humanely. Please do exercise tolerance and compassion for the less fortunate. The earth is not created for you only.
It is not right to consider the views of complainers- might not be even be legitimate - could be residents' personal pursuit against cats - please impart some humanity to our children at least.
Just cos someone dislike cats is NO reason for them to be culled.. the lives of the cats , the people who care for them and those who appreciate the presence of their feline friends in the neighbourhood should be respected too .. acting only to placate complainants without regard for the cats or other people in the community is a cowardly and too easy way to deal with the complaint ... shame on you !!!
This cavalier attitude towards putting down animals which are cared for and sterilised by fellow residents cannot be condoned. There is no reason why the voices of complainants should be louder than those who have a stake in these creatures that share and enrich our environment.
Cats are not guilty for soiled void decks or cars. Those are caused by irresponsible dog owners who never clean up after their dogs and birds. Cant they tell the difference? Duh. Cats need dirt and soil to do their business. And being strays, dirt and soil are aplenty for them cats to not un dignify themselves by doing big business on void decks or people's cars.
I live in Blk 877 and Ive never received any such forms. Even if the rest of my family members did, we would have never agreed to the killing of stray cats. I know my neighbours well too and they would have never agreed to it as well! This is outrageous!!!
Imagine the number of rodents running around if our furry friends ain't around.
