Feral Cats and their Growing Population

Street cats and their growing population

Helping the feral and stray cats 

 

Crisis: 20,000 stray and feral cats roam the streets! That's the title from an article published in the Metro website in the end of October 2014 (read more about it here) about the growing population of feral cats in the city of Surrey, BC in Canada. Although alarming, this is not an isolated case - the increasing population of stray and feral cats is a public health issue in many cities across the country and a problem far from over.

Street cats all around Canada are procreating in a fast pace, making their colonies and overall population grow exponentially. It happens in big cities like Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton as well as in small counties. Many cities in the US are facing the same problem -  even in the huge city of New York.
At first it seems like a natural process - cats returning to the wild - but this is not the case. Feral cats have ever lived among us humans, however something else is happening. So, what is really going on out there?

Did you ever thought about how a farm should be?

Why Should WiiCare About The Animals?

Why taking care of the animals?

Do something

If a human has ever thought about his existence and the motive for being alive, he should have reach the main point of: "I'm alive to make something, to make any difference in the world."

Based on this focal idea of making the difference, and being part of something that really matters, the human species evolves daily, trying to achieve that goal. We improve our health, our society, our technology, our relations, our rights, our thoughts. Basically we improve the meaning of our own lives.
But, if the answer for the most important question was as simple as taking care of the ones in need regardless of who that one should be?

Did you ever questioned yourself about the motives of us being vastly more intelligent and complex beings than every creature that lives in our planet and why not in the universe as we know till now?

Maybe the reason for that is the same answer for our existence. To help. With great powers comes great responsibilities and so, is humans beings' duty to use its "powers" correctly. That's why we should care about the animals, because is our responsibility to improve their lives, to help them, to use our intelligence to make our planet a better place for every life that exists on it.
