Really? It isn't an option and it isn't sustainable? I'm not talking about subsistence farming, I'm simply talking about small scale farming, which is perfectly feasible for our population. We don't need large scale farms, we need people to pay some attention to our consumption of space and resources but it is still more than doable.

Yes capturing and neutering is more effective at population control than hunting but it doesn't feed people. Also there are plenty of types of animals that people can hunt without regulation, most rodents and small birds fall under this category and while you may not think of squirrel as a viable food source many people do.
