De-clawed cats do not last long outdoors
Animals tend to bleed when they get shot. This cat is really getting the Saint Trayvon Martin treatment here on FR. I’m surprised we haven’t been told it was a registered “therapy” animal. It was a cat outside with no collar and got shot like a feral hog. That people are claiming the vet is a budding psychopath is just loony.
Even when they are upsetting the Eco balance?
I tried traps. Takes 3 months for our county to deliver a trap. Or you can buy one, they’re expensive.
If you take a cat to the pound it will most likely be destroyed, by a person like this woman. All that and we still have 700,000 feral cats. Its sad these people lost their pet. Its good you got yours back.
Our neighbors took a feral cat to the vet. Spent about $500 on care for the animal. It died two months later.
Would the leg be better?
Feral cats are a huge issue in many areas. Wheres your sensitivity to all of the damage they do to peoples lives, pets, and wildlife?
Vets kill perfectly healthy animals every SINGLE day. Well maybe not holidays because they are off.
Most of the animals killed are healthy, just not wanted.
I’d use a .22 personally, but in some areas thats been made illegal.
Big bad hunter kills a cat in her backyard. She’s awesome. Needs a swift kick in the back of her can. She knew the cat was not feral. Read some responses from other Vets and they all want her licensed pulled and a lifetime ban from practicing. She has no business being a vet and the only place she may work will be a low-life establishment where miss awesome belongs.
>> caring for animals and opposing abortion is an either/or proposition.
I didn’t assert the two are exclusive to one another. There are 4 combinations. I spoke to one of them.
If it was someone’s pet they should have kept it in their house or on their property.
What really disturbs me are people who get more exercised over a cat shot with a bow than the suffering of people in (fill in the blank).
To wit, your civil and thoughtful response.
Why are you flipping out and getting nasty? Because an animal was killed or because it might have been someone’s pet?
If the former you live in a fantasy world. If the latter - well people need to control their pets. Because if they are irresponsible and let them wander onto other people’s property they might get shot. And possibly eaten (oh the horror).
And yes, that last sentence was gratuitous provocation...
I have pets. I love my pets. But you pet nuts need to go live in the third world for a couple of years and develop some perspective.
Get a life you whacko. She killed a stray cat which may or may not have been someones pet.
Do you car as much for the small animals that cats kill? The cats decimate the population of birds, rabbits, squirrels and so forth.
Did you stop beating your wife?
The leg looks to be hidden by leaves of the bush behind her.
So thick brush is your excuse for why she should have been able to know it wasn’t a pet cat?
Was it a dog or a coyote?
Either are dangerous and they disembowel plenty of animals as they eat them alive.
Wow, you read through the thread, and after you bringing up her cutting off his leg to torture it, you didn’t notice on the thread that there is, and has been,speculation of a leg trap?
The leg trap speculation goes back at least a week, and is not unreasonable, unlike your mention of her having amputated the cat’s leg to torture it.
Why all the rage and anger?
In the small community in Florida where my parents live, some of the local "Crazy Cat Lady" club members (as identified by the bumper sticker on their cars) have a catch, neuter and release thing they do for the feral cats.
They claim the cats are good for keeping the local rodent population down, especially the fruit rats, so their plan makes sense.
Between their place in the food chain (they're gator chow, coyote chow, raptor chow, snake chow, etc.) and not being able to reproduce, the feral cat population tends to stay fairly low.
I've only seen three during this visit and they're a different three than those I saw the last time I was here.
Or it coulda been mangled by another predator, maybe a dog.
Assuming it was actually mangled.
