Answer:

SINGAPORE are culling stray cats as part of a nationwide cleanup campaign sparked by the SARS crisis, a spokesman said today.
Hong Kong researchers announced yesterday that they believe SARS may have jumped to humans from civet cats, cat-like creatures from the same animal family as ferrets that are considered a delicacy in parts of southern China.
However, Singapore authorities denied they were hunting stray cats out of fear that they cause SARS, or Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome.
The culling is part of an overall hygiene campaign launched on May 6 in response to the SARS outbreak, said an official of Singapore's food and animal control authority on customary condition of anonymity.
The flu-like disease has killed 31 people and infected 206 people in the city state.
Authorities estimate that more than 80,000 stray cats roam the island of 4 million people, the food and animal control authority said in a statement.
The government has "intensified culling of stray cats in their estates, especially at food centres, markets and areas affected by cat nuisance problems," the statement said.
Officials began the crackdown on stray cats on Thursday and killed 55 cats in the first two days of the campaign, the spokesman said.
The cats are being taken to the agency's main animal control centre, where they are euthanised, the spokesman said.
Animal rights groups have said they are disappointed that cats are being killed and have asked the government to reconsider the campaign.
"We regret that the government has decided upon such extreme measures," Lynn Yeo, president of Singapore's Cat Welfare Society was quoted as telling the Straits Times.
The hygiene campaign is part of Singapore's efforts to persuade the World Health Organisation and other countries that it has brought the SARS outbreak under control.
SARS has battered Singapore's economy. Visitor numbers fell 67 per cent last month from a year earlier and the government has slashed its economic growth forecast to 0.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent from 2 per cent to 5 per cent.
