I think it's unfair to blame cell phone users for what is clearly the failure of the local municipality to address a shocking feral ninja problem. It's long been known that a strict regimen of capture, neutering, shots, and release quickly reduces a ninja problem to manageable levels, and, as a bonus, cuts melodramatic dueling on rooftops by up to 80%.

The obvious solution is just to get everyone in sync.

Capture-and-release just doesn't work with ninja. It doesn't matter if you neuter them, they're still going through my trash at 3am, and getting into fights with the tanuki and the otokodate.

Besides, everybody knows that ninjas reproduce by running quickly enough to split into multiple ninjas.

That just means that neutering consists of cutting off a leg. You have to think outside the box with ninja.
