Insult me all you want, but feeding them is not the problem. The only thing feeding them does is prevents them from establishing territorial boundaries so humans see them grouped together and in the open hoping humans will feed them more. Without feeding they find food just fine on their own. I know this first hand because most countries that have feral cat problems, the people don't feed them anything at all.
Culling doesn't work as your own example shows because 2 years is nothing and doesn't solve the problem:
* People release unsterilized cats and kittens by dumping them because they don't give a ****
* People allow their unsterilized pets to roam freely outside
* Rapid reproduction rates are designed by nature to propagate in areas where there is no competition (culling occurred) and/or abundant food
* Some people will always feed them. It's been shown numerous times that they will go to great lengths and personal risk to feed starving animals. You can't legislate this behavior out of people, it's been proven in many cities already.
