Smith says: “If I’m in the woods and see a cat that doesn’t have a collar, then I could shoot it. It gives people some leeway if they want to remove cats. … If I catch a cat in the yard in a live trap, I should be able to put that animal down.”

One of the problems, however, with feral cats is that if they are brought to the shelters in a very sick condition or are starving, they have to be held for a time before euthanized (unless the law was changed and I either didn't know or forgot). This means that they are taking up room that an adoptable animal could be in.
