We had cats on our ranch for mice control but when they started to become too numerous we shot some of them and hauled them off. We kept the cat population a down.
I had a neighbor who got irritated because I kept catching his cat in a live trap. He really didn’t like it when I pointed out that it was better than may dogs catching it.
I don’t mind cats but my dogs don’t have any experience with them and see a varmint that needs killin.
Why didn’t you just spay and neuter them? Surely, someone would have come out and trapped them for you.
That’s the most practical way to deal with the problem.
Troubling how PC our nation has become, wussifed.
