but if they get out then what? Shot on sight or what? What about the noisy neighbors dog? Hmmm.. He might "accidentally" get out when they are not home. I suppose he would have to be shot too. Comeon. This is clearly not a good idea in an urban setting.

They did not shoot these dogs at random. They knew when they shot them that they had just killed a woman and her doggie.

The Wisconsin cat hunting law was for feral cats in RURAL areas, not urban areas.

I'd only shot a dangerous attack animal that was an immediate threat to my family. Cats don't fall in that category.

Around here we can borrow large trap-cages from the local pound for feral cats. A tempting bait is put inside, the cat goes in, and the wire door slams behind it. The city pound then picks up the cat in the cage, and if it has a tag the owners are notified. It costs $48.50 to retrieve your pet from the pound. The animals aren't hurt, and the owners pay to learn their lesson.
