In particular, it is installed in a park where feeding facilities are neglected, and when stray cats gather, it kills rodents such as rats and birds.
There are also concerns that the original ecosystem could be destroyed.
Recently, in Marado, the Byeol-geuk, a natural monument and an endangered bird, was killed by stray cats.
In response to the threat, the Cultural Heritage Administration and Jeju Island, etc., took as many as 42 stray cats to the Jeju Island World Heritage Headquarters.

Park Joo-hee, secretary general of the Korea Green Federation, said, “The hunting habit is why stray cats end up in the park.”
“There is a problem that the ecosystem of Birds and Pleasant Park could be threatened,” he said.
When introducing a run facility, seek advice from experts to determine problems and solutions.
“You have to understand it clearly,” he says:
Category: Recruit volunteers to manage stray cat feeding centers and conduct regular inspections
We plan to do it this year, but there is no awareness of the risk of destroying the city park ecosystem:
A district official said, “We are currently looking for an appropriate candidate center around the park so that there will be no inconvenience to residents.”
“It’s a catalog hacket,” he said, “but I haven’t even thought about the problem of destroying the park’s ecosystem.”
“If it’s too much, I’ll consider it when choosing a location,” he said:
While the enactment and installation of stray cat feeding center ordinances is popular nationwide,
Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, also conducted this pilot project.
Naturally, concerns about disturbance to the park’s ecosystem were raised by local environmental groups.
The local government was criticized for its response that it had never thought about ecological issues.
Well, neutering stray cats, feeding facilities, etc.
In the Cat Mom Republic, which implements a stray cat herding policy that is unprecedented in the world.
Actually, I think this is an honest answer.
All you have to do is increase the number of cats, regardless of what happens to the ecosystem.
Whether or not cats’ quality of life is ruined by overcrowding
In the Cat Mom Republic, it’s not important at all.

Bupyeong-gu, Incheon, is considering whether or not to demolish the framework of the ‘stray cat feeding center’, where a pilot project recently ended.

Anyway, we are at a crossroads this year as to whether to continue this pilot project or not…
..Don’t have much expectations, right?

Of course, it is said to be a part of it, but this too cannot be without opposition. The position is that if local governments provide food, the number of stray cats will increase and the ecosystem will be distorted. Therefore, there are concerns that it will cause harm to residents living nearby, including bad smells. Nevertheless, in the case of Bupyeong-gu, which implemented a public cafeteria pilot project since November of last year, it was the local government that suffered the most controversy, but from the current perspective, its self-assessment that residents’ reactions were positive is considered quite encouraging. In short, it is the ordinary idea that dogs and cats should coexist with people. However, the fact that 73% of people agreed that it would be good to manage it hygienically on the premise of controlling the population is no less encouraging.
An editorial praising the project was published in a local newspaper.
Well, the content is good for business effectiveness, and opposing opinions such as concerns about the ecosystem are treated as “partial” opinions.
There is not much objective evidence as to why it is good.
If I had to mention one thing, 73% of people were in favor.

The ‘Public Feeding Center for Stray Cats’ operated and built by some local governments in Incheon City is causing controversy, but it will be launched next year.
It is understood that business is going relatively smoothly, including expansion.

Bupyeong-gu, which implemented a public cafeteria pilot project in November of last year, was the local government that suffered from the most controversy at the time, but released its own evaluation that the response from residents was positive at this point.
Bupyeong-gu conducted a survey in July of about 200 users of Booyoung Park, where a cafeteria was installed, and nearby residents, and the results showed that “dogs and cats should also coexist with people,” and “if they are managed hygienically on the premise of controlling the population, 73% of the votes were in favor, including “I think it would be good.”
..yes. A survey of 200 park users and nearby residents is being used as the basis for rationalizing the policy.
The number of samples is too small,
The sample cannot be considered to properly reflect public opinion.

An online panel survey with a sample size of 5,000 people
So much so that the number of households raising pets is double the actual number.
The problem of sampling bias is serious.
Some surveys used to rationalize dog meat breeding methods also
Although support for the bill was high at around 80%,
In fact, a public opinion poll conducted by a political party showed that the number was around 40%.
It was a completely opposite result, as the majority opposed it.
It’s pretty obvious which one is trustworthy.
When the sample design is imprecise and unclear
It is easy for opinions from certain groups to be oversampled.
Especially when it comes to animal policy.
In that respect, the survey of 200 people
It is very difficult to say that it represents the opinions of residents.
The problem is that this is the result of a survey conducted by the local government.
The point is that it will be reproduced as reliable evidence.
It has already become the basis for the decision to increase the number of stray cat feeding stations.
There are many problems with the research method,
Even though the numbers don’t match
It is claimed that the number of stray cats has been reduced through neutering (TNR).
Seoul city monitoring continues to be cited as the basis for TNR,
(Actually, the report cited low neutering rates and increased number of admissions to shelters.
Although I am cautious about such interpretation)
When stray cats were culled in a certain autonomous district in Seoul, they suffered from a swarm of rats.
In a reality where unfounded urban legends are cited as fact,
Another strange finding:
And looking at the wrong policy decisions that resulted from this,
My head hurts.
