Given the fact that Greek vets and all the rescue centres, i.e. those who actually KNOW something about the subject and UNDERSTAND the problems, support neutering programmes I thought your accusation that anyone who did have cats neutered was "playing God" and even worse "doing it to make themselves feel better" deserved a response. Frankly I think they are puerile and crass.

If having cats spayed is "playing god" I just wonder how far that goes. Feeding any stray or wild animal is "playing god" too surely, as would be rescuing a plastic bag full of puppies thrown over your wall. Would it be better to leave it alone to die and rot?
Hey lets not draw demarcation lines here.....you come across a road accident then better just drive carefully around it because to do otherwise could be construed as playing god
If you are not going to follow the concept 100% then you draw lines at a certain point. Fine, your lines are in a certain place but there is nothing to say that others cannot make their lines at other places and you should accept that....or do you want to play god and insist that others should follow your concepts of where the line lies

I feel exactly the same about the human population of the UK. According to government statistics some 20% live below the poverty line so perhaps we should start with a sterilisation programme for them. After all they don’t have much quality of life do they?

There is no poverty line in the UK. If you want real poverty look at bit further afield. To try and compare poor people in the UK with stray cats in Crete is just bonkers.
Stray cats get raped and starve to death. If you want to start a campaign for sterilization why not start with the sick bastards that hang dogs from trees.
By the way, it is a fact that people who are cruel to animals are often the same people who beat women and children. It is only the tip of a societies iceberg.
