"Why? It's probably hunting quail too. Oh, I guess the cat didn't buy a license."
Hunting preserves and Game Officers are paid for by hunting fees. And then hunters respect their bag limit and EAT what they kill while most domestic cats just kill for sport and then eat cat food.
Hunters do more to preserve wildlife than all of the stupid tree-hugger groups COMBINED can ever do.
Not at all. He just pulled rank as the top member of the food chain and told the cat, in strict, no-nonsense Darwinian terms that the cat was not entitled to the man's dinner.

Viking Kitties NEVER buy licenses from the STATE!
If a cat (or fox or any other predator) takes one quail in one year, that's one less quail these manly men can shoot. So they want to knock off the competitors. Of course, some people simply hate cats and others wish to kill for the sake of killing -- they are the type who try to run over an animal when it runs across the road in front of their car.
I have friends in the country who let their cats outside, uncollared and unsupervised. I think that is unwise. I've been told that they are afraid that a collar will catch on something. I keep my cats indoors, but over the years there have been escapes (brief and permanent) of cats without collars. Some think that all of these cats are fair game.
