cats are apex predators, they could survive by themselves in any city
they were eliminated because they smelled
Well feral cats do lead the destruction of natural wildlife such as small birds. Many species of small birds have been made endangered or extinct because large populations of feral cats. I get why they might have done it but it's still pretty sad.

Here is a research study on it for anyone interested.

If mr. tiggy is so traumatized how is he able to find the will to sit inside boxes, waste toilet paper and make everyone else's lives harder?

What do you meant "way too cruel"? If adopting them was out of the question (the previous chapter told us that) that was properly the most humane way of "taking care" of them:fml:
Doing it humanely is one thing, people who clearly don't care that much about the welfare of the animals they're dealing with (or aren't paid enough to be able to do anything about it) is a whole other thing. If the previous chapter was accurate, they did not deal with Tiggy's family humanely, they used rat poison - slow acting, painful, nasty, it would have taken many hours for them to die from internal bleeding and multiple organ failure, and the only way Tiggy survived was by getting there after everyone else was in a state where his instinctive response would be to run and hide.

Trapping and then euthanising humanely is one thing - as I said in a comment on the last chapter, I've been involved in that, in exactly this kind of situation. But humanely, with as much care and concern for the welfare of the animals as possible, not a lazy cheap-arse hack job.

Yeah, they could just not have known. The guys are clearly dealing with the shit hand they've been dealt, and clearly haven't put immense thought into the exact details of killing a large number of animals. Probably just figured out a sure-fire way to kill them, picked the most obvious animal poison, and then just waited. If it's really as nasty as you say, you still really can't blame them all that much. It's not like they could just go to their neighbors like "Hey, really want to kill things. You know how to kill lots of things quickly? :D "

In which we discover literally everyone in the main cast is traumatized. Well, not Aki. At least...not as far as we know...
