Maybe we can extend Welfare to them.
But then we get too many bears. Who can bear so many bears?
We support a large feral cats population, and guess what:
They multiply and conquer. Nobody can touch them but they can feed them.
What do you think of things in the jungle? Are all animals the same? Soon we may have pythons along the cats, something I support because they will eat the cats. It's not far fetched, the Burmese pythons have taken over the Everglades.

Magicians/clowns/freaks had a good income back in the old days. Nothing else to do. People would follow anything, like the circus in town.
