In all seriousness, this sounds bad.

If it was a problem cat, fine - but try to work it out with the neighbor and animal control. If to no avail, I don't have a problem with taking the cat out - but do the job properly.

What makes you think this kid shot the cat because it might have been a problem? 99% of the time...these stupid kids do it for fun because people like you tell your kids that it's "OK" as long as the cat is "A PROBLEM."

You need animal sensitivity classes.

WHAT? You are cruel.

Have-a-Heart traps can be rented ... I'd try that before I exhausted all other avenues ... but shooting a pet is heartless ... feral another story ... shooting in a neighborhood ... a no! no!

The cat with the bow and arrow was the problem.

Had a friend who had a similar incident with a dog. The nieghbor's dog kept tearing into his trash and making a huge mess. After numerous unsuccessful attempts to get the neighbor to respond, he mounted a blunt on an arrow and shot at the dog to scare it away.

Unfortunately, the blunt tore off and the dog was pierced in the buttocks with the bare shaft. Though the injury was unintentional, the goal was attained: to this day the dog will not go near his yard.

Hear hear, I agree with your whole post there. Although I don't know that I'd be able to bring myself to do it!
