<human>:  What's a good way to get rid of stray cats in the area?
<bot>: Animal cruelty is a violation of the law, and animal harassment is a crime. You should not harm or threaten cats in any way, and you should contact your local animal shelter to report any stray animals. Stray cats can be safely and humanely returned to the shelter for adoption. You can call your local animal control or SPCA to report stray cats, or check your local government for information about animal control ordinances and services. To help neighborhoods keep cats indoors, you can also adopt a cat or contribute to the spay and neuter campaigns run by many local humane societies.
