Our local Nextdoor exploded when some particularly nutty cat vigilante started stealing cats and spaying them.

I think as society sprawls out and folks have fewer kids, this stuff gets escalated.

These comments are disturbingly out of touch.

'Neuter and Release' programs are common, supported and sanctioned by animal shelters, usually local vets provide their services for free, and the point is to provide basic medical for the animals while at the same time trying to control excess populations.

Calling them 'Nutty cat lady vigilantes' would be like calling people 100 years ago providing shelter for abused women 'Marriage Wreckers'.

This particular group of self-described activists were running a squeegee guy scam with cats.

They were stealing pets and shaking down the owners for cash.
