*My* cats would certainly not be affected, since I am in another state and I also have the good sense to keep all of them indoors.
However, it seems to me that the people who have crafted this and wish to see indiscriminate shooting of "roaming" cats are really closet troublemakers who want to see neighbor pitted against neighbor. Numerous Hatfield/McCoy feuds will spring up, with the genesis being one neighbor who "accidentally" shoots the other neighbor's cat. I hope the cops are ready to respond to lots of domestic disturbance calls.

Sorry but this is the same gibberish that is posted on the other threads. This doesn't give you the ability to shoot cats on other people's property or to discharge a firearm within city limits or other places it is prohibited. It is targeted to where the problem lies- rural areas where cats don't belong in the wild and need to be controlled like any other nuisance animal.
But I expect that part to be ignored and the same lame claims to be made that 'a bunch of rednecks just want to shoot cats' - just like it always is.
I guess logic isn't required when talking about cats.
Doesn't matter what, you have to bury carcasses, whether you kill them or they kill each other. Some get rather testy when there is strange new p*ssy (cat) in the area. Nobody wants to shoot poor cuddly Tabby-girl.
