Here kitty, kitty....
We could use a platform like that where I live, lots of strays. Thanks for the post
Killing wild cats and dogs is only an issue for people in cities and the suburban areas. Live out in the country and you can get rid of any mangy dog or wild cat anytime. As a matter of fact city people like to dump these animals on the country folks so it only seems fair. Yes if you want someone to do the dirty work for you take them to the pound if not adopted in a week they kill them. Lethal injection vs 22 to the head. I've seem many mangy dogs, dogs with dispemper and cats with disease. I personally don't wish for them to be around my pets,me or children. And I don't care to get close to them. And this is a woman speaking. All cats and dogs do not look like pampered pets nor do they act like them.
If only we had massive herds of Grackle killing cats, maybe my car would be cleaner. Grackles, now there's a problem.
We have a lot of wildlife, or we did, around our area. A while back some folks moved in, not only with a bunch of cats, but with loose dogs. I haven't seen or heard a quail in 7 years, and I watched one of their cats stalk a family of turkey poults. If I'd had a BB gun, I'd have been very tempted to knock that cat in the behind, and send him packing.
There is no excuse for allowing your pet animals to prey on wildlife, especially non varmint wildlife. I can understand this guy's feelings, although I wouldn't personally kill a stray cat or dog.
Kill of the cats and there will be more vermin.
I had a neighbor that thought it "urealistic" to keep HIS cat our of my child's sandbox....which the cat considered his toilet....
He was warned to find a way or I would....
He didn't.
I did.
Semper Fi
Here kitty..kitty..kitty.. BANG! Oh sorry neighbor I thought she was a stray! I see this law working well. Not!!
It's dogs roaming free (and I mean inside the city limits) that attack children and livestock here in NM, but this guy is worried about tweety?
What people really don't like about cats is their independence - their "you can go to h*ll" attitude. Cat haters prefer the worship of dogs which says a whole lot.
Oh, and I have both dogs and cats - they're both great - different but great.
This is great! Brings back "all night" hunting. We could see the rise of the cat recipe book.
As long as the A-Hole eats what he shoots...I don't have a problem with it.
If you want a real, fighting war in America, start killing pet cats. This idea is real trouble. I'm not kidding, either.
Around here we leave roaming cats to the tender mercies of coyotes. There are very few cats.
Cats eat birds and mice. Coyotes love nothing more than a domestic cat. Seems kinds of silly for man to legislate what mother nature has already dealt the cards on. This man does not need a law, he needs a large canine.
I honed my rifle skills on feral cats in the pasture and the fields on our farm. If the odd felonious feline wasn't content with a diet of fresh milk and barn rodents and took up the rouge life of an ex-mouser turned rabbit and quail killer, it would be added to the target of opportunity list.
Besides, after my brother and I wiped out the groundhogs along the ATT highline embankment that spit the farm in half, what else were we to expend our reserve .222 ammo on? Coyotes? They made a big detour to avoid our acreage.
What are these people going to do when the rodent population explodes?
Birds aren't the only things cats get rid of...
I do find it interesting, however, that many of those who are so worried about how cats "kill for sport" don't have a problem with humans who "go hunting". The exact same animal instinct drives cats and humans to the hunt, and whether the prey is actually eaten is not the issue. People want to judge all feline hunters by the standard of the worst of them, the cat who kills but doesn't eat. But they aren't willing to judge human hunters the same way.
And, so what if the cat OR the human enjoys the hunt? The most important pursuits of survival are pleasurable. If the act of procreation wasn't fun, or if eating wasn't satisfying, the species would die out quickly.
And, isn't it interesting how cat owners will play with their cats by dangling strings, or rolling little objects near them, and gush about how cute it is when the cat crouches and pounces. But, they get all upset when the cat does the same thing to a mouse or bird. They encourage instinctive hunting behavior, but when the cat actually does the real thing, they throw a fit. No wonder so many cats are neurotic.
I see this hunter doesn't want to control dog packs. I've seen these mutts take down full grown deer in the bush. And I've had run-ins with these snarling packs of Fidos where I needed to pull my sidearm and fire.
Bet you a dollar to a doughnut that this guy lets his mutts run free while taking a walk or hunting.
A plague of mice and rats on Mark Smith and all the cat haters who post supporting him.
(And may someone shoot his favorite hunting hound the next time it gets loose.)
