I'd rather trap a feral cat and have her spayed. Maybe sugar processed with bone char isn't worth boycotting a restaurant over. Maybe it is.

Case in point: some of my family members have become active with feral cat colony organizations. It started with donation requests for spay and neutering cats but then quickly transferred to a trap, neuter and release organization.
