I hate that people think they can drop animals off in the “country”. Those feral cats take a toll on game and therefore if I see them while hunting I will shoot them, unless one of my kids is with me.
I don’t live in the “country” necessarily but close enough people think it is. I see feral cats around my house all the time, in fact I now have one that is a house cat. (I have 7 daughters so you know what that must be like.)
For some reason, people seem to think that farmers are excited to have all those stray cats that people drop off. It is my opinion, that many of them end up the victims of a shotgun because farmers have too many cats to care for and they have no way of knowing if the cats are healthy or diseased.
Its also against the law to abandon animals like this, if I’m not mistaken.
