Rather than paying for killing, why not invest the money in long term solutions to actually reduce numbers in the first place ? – a no kill trap, neuter and release scheme could be a potential solution.
All the time authorities do not approach this sensibly, stray animals will continue to reproduce, thus increasing populations, not reducing. This is the ‘oh so normal’ response to sporting fixtures like this. They think mass murder works, but it does not. Only a no kill, trap, NEUTER and return policy reduces numbers long term. Lets see football investing its vast financial reserves into something other than vast players salaries – Mark.
