Cats do carry rabies, as well as a number of other very nasty diseases. Contact the CDC or your state's veterinary office if you have any doubts- I'm not here to argue that point of fact.
I live in an area with no- repeat NO- animal control. "Animal control" in my rural area means either a .22 or a shotgun. Livetrapping & hauling them to a shelter might not be "nice" but it beats being shot on sight (well within the law in my area, I might add). If I were to call the overworked sheriff's dept about stray cats, they'd tell to quit wasting their time. And quite frankly, they do have more important things to worry about.
Furthermore, why should I have to put up with the stench, noise, and other problems associated with a horde of unwanted trespassing feral cats invading MY property? Again, a responsible pet owner will ensure their animals are on their property at all times. If you (editorial 'you') cannot or will not control your animals, do not gripe at someone else who will.
Sorry, your "logic" doesn't wash.
