To feel annoyed that (some) other countries don't sort the problem of strays

My sister is just back from holiday in Greece. She enjoyed it very much, but was dismayed by all the stray cats. There was one female in particular, who was constantly having to defend her kittens from the male cats around. This made me feel so sad, as it's a fucking miserable existence for her, when the problem will keep reoccurring.
Why don't these countries take responsibility for their strays, and have a neutering/spaying regime in place?

@CamdenLoaf
Where I (part-time) live in Greece I don't think the Daily Mail would ever find out (and the locals would turn a relieved blind eye).

30 years ago it was like this in Pattaya,Thailand with dogs. Some had huge wounds and they were just in packs on the streets. In Jamaica around the same time the hotel staff would scrape scraps of food off of plates in to the bushes behind the bins for all the cats. There were some beautiful cats there and they were very friendly and clearly looked after by everyone.
