“How stupid is that?”

That’s pretty stupid. Stray animals breed whether or not you feed them – then they starve, but not before they kill native animals, spread disease, harm pets etc.

Here’s an idea – how about trapping some of them? I’m just about to drop a cat around to the house that’s adopted her. She’s the most gorgeous, friendly cat you could ever meet – I trapped her a couple of months back, living on bugs and just waiting to get pregnant. Tonight I’m going to have a go at trapping a whole family of cats – mum, dad AND the inconceivably cute fluffy kitten – living by the block of flats on the other side of the park. I’ll get them all de-sexed, microchipped and immunized and then I’ll find THEM responsible homes. Just like I’ve done for the other 12 cats I’ve rounded up in the last few years. It’s not a full-time job – I have other things to do, obviously.

I have no personal problem with your grandma – but she reflects the “ignore it and leave it to somebody else” solution to problems. Yes, I don’t doubt that she votes republican.

And was the allegory about human poverty supposed to be so obvious? Or was that just a freudian slip?
