It really is not a quandary. Killing is not simply inhumane, it is ineffective and decades and decades of killing cats has proven this. Populations in areas where killing is practiced do not go away or even shrink. Kill one, get two or four....just like coyotes.
TNR, on the other hand, typically results in a substantial reduction in the population in a given area. A %60-75 reduction in population is common and the remaining cats tend to slow down and hunt.less as they age. Especially if they are being fed. As an example, there used to be seven cats in my little colony. Now there are three. They used to climb trees and slaughter birds at night. Now, they demolish my garage. Its all good.
So from both a humane standpoint for the cats and a wildlife preservation standpoint, TNR is the better bet.
TNR will only work well with territorial animals. That probably lets out snakes and fish.
