even if this woman had issues about cats soiling her garden, this was not the way to solve those problems.....she ought to have known better.

That particular point is quite frustrating with all pet owners who simply don't want to deal with that side of things. I've had blazing rows in the street with dog walkers for exactly the same reason (when I've actually managed to catch them).
The sparrows situation is a bit of a mystery though because of the two dozen or so cats that live in the surrounding houses they all have collars and bells. I can only assume that they were young birds who didn't know any better.
It's very annoying when you've tried to feed families of birds (starlings too) all struggling to find food for their chicks in a terraced area.
