If by wild cats you mean actual wild native animals, no, they should not be exterminated. If you mean feral cats, domestic cats that have been released from captivity as pets, my feeling as a wildlife rehabilitator is yes, they should be trapped and euthanized. Feral cats cause incalculable damage to native birds and other wildlife. They carry diseases which can be spread to humans and pets. Feral cats are the single most important carrier of rabies. Not only that, it is cruel to leave these animals to fend for themselves. They need to be relieved of their misery. Our native wildlife deserves protection from these animals.
