The Humane Society does not dump cats. It supports trap-neuter-release programs.
As does the ASPCA: "The ASPCA endorses Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) as the only proven humane and effective method to manage feral cat colonies"
I don't think the Humane Society actually does the trapping-and-releasing themselves, but by all means get some pictures of their truck and licence number.
If you'd do some reading on this you'd find that trapping and killing actually adds to the problem and in the long term increases the number of cats. Increasing the percentage of spayed and neutered cats also cuts down on the fighting and noise.
If the policy was to capture and kill the animals then the foundations doing this would get a lot fewer volunteers and contributions, so there would be less animals trapped.
As for the term "dumping", how can you dump something that's already there?
By the way, chickens are an invasive species too.
