Let me guess, Today Tonight or another 7 news broadcast?
I'm pretty sure it was nine news, Today tonight is banned in this household!

I can't even understand how this is under debate.
If someones pet snake escaped, and later found out a neighbour had killed it because it had got into their yard, everybody would be up in arms. Same thing with a dog (dogs kill native wildlife too, don't forget. I've probably seen more damage done by dogs than cats. Or how about I shoot you if you walk into my yard, humans are much worse than cats too.)
FORGET for a minute that they're cats. Just forget it. It all comes down to one basic point, IT IS SOMEONES PET AND MUCH LOVED FAMILY MEMBER. Sure you might catch feral ones, in that case you would know it's feral. If it has a collar, or otherwise appears to be someone's pet - do the bloody right thing and find the owners or drop it to the pound.
If you are catching the same cat multiple times, find it a new home where you know has responsible owners (or find a friend willing to rehome it, I know I would put up my hand to help rehome an animal if it's life was on the line).
I think educating cat owners is the key.
I have heard of one method of education that I thought was very effective (although it could well have been an urban myth)……Person traps cats on their property, shaves cat with hair clippers, writes on cats skin with non toxic marker a note….”Last chance, next time I catch kitty on my property he no come home”. Releases cat to allow it to return home…..
