People who feed outdoor ferals are doing good ONLY if they are also spaying and neutering them. People who feed them but do not stop the reproduction are doing bad, you're right there. But as long as they are being sterilized and cared for, they are absolute angels as far as I'm concerned.

When you trap and drop off these animals, how do you know they aren't sterilized and being cared for by someone? I care for several ferals that I have vetted and neutered, and I would be HEARTSICK if I found out someone like you was taking them and dropping them off at the pound knowing full well they wouldn't have a chance at being adopted out to a loving home. People like you are the reason why I have to microchip all my ferals because you just don't get it. You have no idea who is caring for those ferals, and possible caring for them responsibly. They may bother you, but that doesn't give you the right to take them and have them killed, which is exactly what you're doing.

But if it makes you feel better to tell yourself you're doing good by trapping and dropping off ferals to be killed, then so be it. But please don't kid yourself.
