Q Should the Victoria Park cats be saved?

I have always regarded stray dogs and cats as the victims of irresponsible humans. With the involvement of the SPCA's cat colony scheme, whereby they are de-sexed, vaccinated and micro-chipped, they should be left alone and given a place to live. They should not be exterminated. They have a right to survive. Please respect them as living creatures, not things.

I think the cats in Victoria Park should be exterminated - they carry disease, they are pests and they have fleas. They are no different to rats.

Excluding them from the pest exterminator's poison on the grounds that they are 'cute' is out of order: I think chickens and ducks are cute but that hasn't stopped millions of them being brutally slaughtered. Why should cats get a better deal?
