Probably some psychotic teenage twit whose parents don't have a clue what he does in his spare time.
I have known cows and I have known cats, the cows are more personable and loyal.
Yea, right, you have obviously never raised or milked cows or you would not make such a statement and since I have, I can dispute that statement.
I have owned, raised and milked them in Penna and none of the were inbred.
Now you're talking. If we judge every story by "is it more important than the abortion rates" no story would get posted or replied to.
I agree, if you don't like hearing about this story, or think it's not important, move along.
>>Where we live leash laws apply to ALL domestic pets. NO ONE leashes their cats, however. So, they get in trouble killing birds and baby squirrels, pooping in bunkers, leaving foot print and claw scratches on cars.
Same here. I scare the crap out of un-belled cats (pretty much all of them) I find wandering through my yard. Would never hurt or kill one, though.
If he shot the cat for fun, sure.
But if that cat was like the stray that used to jump on my new car in my backyard, leaving scratches in the fenders, then I don't blame him.
Where we live leash laws apply to ALL domestic pets, but a lot of cat owners ignore that law.
Whether or not one likes cats, this is inexcusable.
Actually, I think the guy misunderstood me. I wrote that because someone was making an immigration thread about this, kind of the way every thread became a Terry Schavio thread. I guess that subject was a poor thing to use as an illustration.
Understood, thanks. (whew)
Disturbing, isn't it.......
why does the article automatically assume it was a prank, and that it was done for fun? personally i think you should either kill it or leave it alone, not maim and leave it for dead, but what's to say that it wasn't someone sick of the cat being destructive on their property and treated it the way the rest of us treat other destructive varmints? its just the this guy was a lousy shot.
or if this cat was like some cats i've known, its even possible that thru carelessness, it did it to itself.
"pooping in bunkers" exactly what does that mean? As far as killing baby squirrels and birds, ok, some birds are nice but squirrels are tree rats and anyway, no prey species is healthy unless there are a few preditors in the neighborhood. I've never seen a cat scratch a car and for a few feline footprints on a car, you would sanction shooting them with arrows to suffer a slow and painful death? You need serious psychiatric help.
Apparently so...... Not only news but national news.
"Anyone that cannot feel sympathy for the needless suffering of harmless little animal just doesn't count for much in my book."
... and anyone like YOU who thinks MORE about a stupid cat than they do a human counts for even LESS in MY book!
They need not be mutually exclusive.
Your caring for humans so much is really touching...
