The world is getting ridiculous.

They should give him a medal, but this is not Breaking News.
With all that happened lately with the tainted pet food, I got to wondering:
Why don’t they put birth control in cat food?

"All of those issues, I'm sure, will be flushed out in court," Reed said. Some jokes just write themselves.

One of the toll-booth employees, who had been feeding several feral cats and considered them pets, found the dead cat and pursued Stevenson. The toll-booth employee was a contributor to the problem. People who feed feral animals are extremely irresponsible. If the guy wants a pet then he should buy/adopt an animal and properly care for it. Feral animals are nobody's pets.

I love it when nature lovers get upset at how nature operates and decide that it is incumbent on them to go and kill an animal in order to stop an animal from getting killed. So that nature can be undisturbed.
That's some twisted thinking.

Although he admitted in a 1999 Internet posting to killing two dozen feral cats near his island home, Stevenson told the Houston Chronicle in November that he is fond of cats.
.
His arrest last year surprised and saddened many environmentalists.
.
"Jim Stevenson is not a bad man," Dori Nelson, chair of the Seabrook Eco-Tourism Committee, told the Chronicle soon after his arrest. Those greenies are a delight...

There’s one curled up on my bed right now that might disagree with you. ;o)

I know a guy, who knows a guy, who has killed a few feral cats on his property. He was sick and tired of his irresponsible niehbors doing nothing about the cats that were breading under his shed. These cats were leaving trails of feathers all over his yard...yadda yadda yadda...he currently has no more feral cat problems.

Poor kitty.....they are so misunderstood. They should shoot that bird 'mentalcase' guy. Leave the cats alone. Here's one of mine someone/thing tried to kill--he never killed a bird:

Shooting an animal is not “cruelty” under the law in any jurisdiction that I know of. Even a case where he only wounded one by accident still wouldn’t qualify I wouldn’t think.

BS. Most people (like me) who feed them -—trap them and get them fixed first.

If the bird nut shot my cat, I’d cut his testicles off with a chain saw and feed them to the vultures. Then, I’d kill his whole family while he watched, then I’d kill a few of his neighbors just to make sure everybody knew how angry I was.
Or, I’d call the cops and try to get him arrested. One or the other.

Why dont they put birth control in cat food? Then they wouldn't have room for the contaminated Chinese wheat gluten........

Jim Stevenson, 53... "What really bothers me, this cat was down there killing endangered species of birds and others protected by law," Stevenson said in an interview Thursday. "Feral cats are not protected by law, and I stopped a cat from doing that and I get arrested." Technically, he could have filed a lawsuit in Court to force the government to get rid of the feral cats that were affecting the endangered species habitat. The truly sad reason he got arrested?
One of the toll-booth employees, who had been feeding several feral cats and considered them pets, found the dead cat and pursued Stevenson.
Crazy Cat Lady Ping...
Feeds feral cats, considers them pets, then abandons job to pursue Stevenson, who is free on $10,000 bail. If convicted, he faces from six months to two years in prison and a $10,000 fine.
