resolve citizen complaints, it does not reflect the community's concerns or values, it does not help reunite lost cats with their families, it does not help cats find new homes, it does not end suffering (in fact, it perpetuates and intensifies it), it does not mitigate harm or reduce the number of cats, and it is not cost - effective, all the traditional excuses for why animal shelters do so.»
