text: Mark, I like cats. And who doesn't like the kitten or cat rooms at the Honolulu Humane Society?
  
  But feral cats can be a menace to the environment and themselves. They fight for territory and hunt for sport. I've taken injured cats to the humane society with one kitten missing an eye after getting beaten around by ferals. That was with a Kalihi neighbor feeding them at the time.
  
  Perhaps we won't convince each other of our views, but it's nice having a civil discussion. Here is a video and an article I'd like to share with you:
