Some people just ignore the existence of stray cats in their neighborhood or even see stray cats as pests. They live in the traditional market, housing area, and also the streets. Often, we find kittens being dumped inside a box on the street and in the traditional markets. People just don't want to be bothered by the newborn kitten and think that dumping the kittens in the traditional market will solve the problem. In fact, almost all kittens die instead of surviving. It is not different from slowly killing them.
