No sarcasm at all. We live on a ranch in Wyoming and stray cats sometimes wander onto the property and, when they do, they end up as food for the crows. This is because we don’t want them fighting with our barn cats and maybe infecting them with feline leukemia, I don’t want them biting or scratching my kids, I don’t want them attacking my chickens, and we don’t want them colonizing our property.
Besides, I’m saving these cats from the coyotes and the occasional eagles who think that cats are tasty snacks.
To answer the questions of the psychotic cat lovers who will no doubt be DEEPLY OFFENDED at my post:
1. No, I’m too busy to take time out of my day and try to trap a stray or feral cat and then drive it 45 miles into town to the animal shelter so the animal shelter can kill it.
2. Yes, I know you’re DEEPLY OFFENDED by how we manage our property. Get over it.
3. No, I don’t go around hurting cats off of my property. That’s because they’re on someone else’s property and it’s not my place to do that. In Wyoming it’s good manners to respect other people’s land.
4. No, my older barn cats don’t wander off. The ones that do end up as coyote food. No, I don’t get upset with the coyotes for eating cats.

But I do hope you'll reconsider your "cat folk are all liberals" stance. That really hurts! ;-)
