Studies show that cats should be neutered at an early age. Neutering has a great impact on protecting wildlife from cats by stopping unwanted litters that are often left to add to the feral population. Keeping your cat in at night won't stop the mating.
The feral cat population has grown out of the numerous unwanted, runaway or lost domestic cats living in cities and the countryside and is far larger than a natural wild cat population would be. There is only one way of controlling the hunting of these feral cats, and that is to destroy the cats themselves - an unpleasant prospect that responsible cat ownership can help to mitigate in the future by spaying and neutering their cats.
