Sounds like you had far too much coffee too early in the morning. Back away from that keyboard, take a few deep breaths, and relax!

The posts you so well summarized are both hilarious nad accurate, expecially from a wildlife management perspective. Cats do, after all, breed like cats. As Ogden Nash said, "The trouble with a kitten is that - the kitten becomes a cat!"

And minus predators, cats can severely negatively impact wildlife. Should you think predator introduction is a good idea, think again. PantherPersons have artificially induced a population irruption of panther in the Everglades and one such radio collared beast was observed eating one of the last of some two dozen pets at the Trail Lakes Campground on US 41, near Everglades City.

Only when it began sizing up Game officers for their caloric value, and after being "outed" nationally, were the PantherPersons finally forced to remove their predator.

Hunting is far more controllable than the introduction of large bodied predators.

Gunpowder really is superior to tooth and claw.

You obviously missed my post in the spirit for which it was intended.  It is nitwit comments like yours above that I was referring to.  There is a difference between necessarily controlling feral cats which we all understand (or dogs, other) and hilarious and accurate comments regarding the 'joy' and methodology of killing cats (or any animal) which you don't understand.  It is not remotely funny and the difference is distinct.
