"Well so I'm a Nazi because I recognize that a feral cat turned into the HS will be euthanized, Lovely."
Uh, no Dick, I called you a Nazi because you wrote this:
"I'm only frustrated because the world is over-run with idiots. Putting neutered ferals back where they came from only passes the final solution on to me or others. Need to put down the morons who turn there unwanted pets loose to starve or turn feral. You have a cat and you are not a RESPONSIBLE breeder, neuter the damn thing. Unforunately society won't allow us to use a final solution for the morons turning there unwanted pets loose. Seems like the HS could do double duty and put down the owners at the same time."
Now, perhaps you were drunk when you wrote it, or you thought it was a joke (in very bad taste), or maybe you're just stupid, but the actual "final solution" used gas chambers to dispatch people. You know what animal shelters often still use? Gas chambers. If you had any sense of propriety, you'd be profusely apologizing right now.
So let me be charitable and just assume you're stupid. Do I think trapping and taking animals to the HS is inhumane, knowing they'll probably be euthanized? No, not in the current environment. But of course discussion here hasn't exactly limited itself to that possibility. People are talking about gunning down ferals, strays and pets with reckless abandon. While shooting a pet is probably no less humane than gassing it, it's still cruel not only to the pet, but even more importantly, the owners.
