Hey, Mike. Thanks for your service to the country. That said, humane treatment of animals has nothing to do with conservative or liberal. It has to do with ethics, morals, and conscience. (I hope you’re not going to try to tell me that conservatives aren’t supposed to have these!)

Your stance on cats roaming loose makes no sense. You say that because your dogs are kept under control, cats should be, too. So what do you do about birds, who fly free and often defacate on the property (including cars, lawn furniture, and of course swimming pools)? How about squirrels? Do you also kill someone else’s dog if the little guy gets free of his leash? What about children who wander into your yard? Trap ‘em and shoot ‘em?

I have three cats, and keep them all inside, partly because of the coyote and bobcat population out here in the boonies, and partly because you never know when some knuckle-dragger is going to decide to use them for target practice. We’ve had that problem with our cattle already—and on our own land, no less.

Cats and dogs are domesticated animals. It’s people like you who perpetuate the problem and then turn around and call people like me monsters for protecting my property.

Your bringing children in the argument illustrates your radical, non-logical, views on the subject thus we are done here.

Bird control.

How about squirrels?

Squirrel control.
