> I suppose if you want them to eat regularly without bringing them in your home, taking them to vet to get fixed before releasing them back outside works just as well at keeping populations down.
If by "get fixed" you mean to neuter them then maybe. But most people who feed feral dogs/cats are just feeding them because... because they want, or their gut feeling says it's the right thing to do.
I'm not saying if you feed wild cats you're literally Satan. But feeding wild animals needs responsibility. Actually it takes MORE responsibility than just having a house pet, because now your actions are affecting multiple lives instead of one.
