The point of the thread is to determine how many people think that psychological trauma (abandonment) with a chance of mutilation or murder at the end of it is less cruel than the certainty of mutilation but a loving home.
It's a character assessment. The answer demonstrates what kind of a person you are. Your option C for example would demonstrate you feel no responsibility for the well being of the animals. It's says a lot that you'd actually choose killing them as "good for them" over releasing them in the wild somewhere.
It's not having what you want - It's wanting what you've got.
