Catching and drowning them is standard pest control in what world??? What a terrible way to die. If it was pest control, DPW or similar should/would be taking care of it, not some random geriatric.
It's pretty good in comparison with almost every other method. It's pretty privileged to assume everyone can hire professionals for pest management and even then their methods are usually worse. What method would you be suggesting?
Well, we are talking about an instance that happened in a developed nation. In most developed nations Department of Public Works exist for towns and counties. DPW or animal control covers that in my state at least. Me personally? Catch and kill with a gun because I live in a country that allows its citizens to own them. If I didn't have a gun? One strike to the head with a large rubber mallet. Or if I've already gone to the trouble of catching them, maybe some kind of poison/medication. I want you to remember you're taking the side of catching and drowning random cats in this situation as a good thing.
