Don't blame the feral cats for something that neither they nor we have control over. Besides, if people hadn't dumped them in the first place then perhaps we wouldn't have to be concerned about toxoplasmosis as much. If you're going to blame someone then at least blame the ones who ditched them.

Euthanasia actually is a poor option when handling feral cats. Do your research. When you put the feral cats down you create an empty niche in which MORE feral cats can move in. When you spay and neuter them through the SPCA Trap-Neuter-Return Program (for free!), and return them to the original place of capture, they hold that niche and no more cats can move in for however many years those cats live. Its proven to work.
As I said, do your research before making such comments.

That doesn't make it right. By using shortcuts you create a short-term solution to the problem. Spaying and neutering is a long-term solution proven to work. Do your research.

I think euthanasia is the best option. A quick injection of sodium pentobarbital is quick, painless, and peaceful.
Even humans don't get such treatment (Unless they live in Oregon).
Peace.

There is also a cruel method of euthanasia used which is a gas chamber. Plus killing cats is not necessary. Feral cats are not homeless, they have a home. They just need to stop having so many babies and be vaccinated, not killed.

Neither they're just two characters, like in a commercial.

Rubystars, G-D bless you but I must quote Professor Farnsworth to address your obsession with these vile toxoplasmosis carrying creatures that you love:
"Cause your apartment smells like Polygrip
and cat pee."
"I move that your cat stinks and is ugly."
Enough said. My mother often repeats the story that when she came to Canada from Israel and visited the humane society, she commented to a wealthy Canadian woman who is there that she wished she could be her dog.

Well they won't give me toxoplasmosis when they're living outside. They are unadoptable. They're just too wild to be adopted out to homes, so the only alternatives are to have them killed, or to spay and neuter them. So I think the second option is better.
