He’s a realistic guy. I had a friend once complain about Ducks Unlimited going out and killing ducks. The thing she didn’t understand is that groups like them preserve areas so animals have habitat. Sure they kill some, but they don’t want them to disappear. Feral cats can do a lot of damage. He did nothing wrong. If animal control picked up the cats they would have killed them too.
If he shot that cat inside city or some county jurisdictions, he could have easily violated firearms laws. If inside our city’s jurisdiction he would be hit with a firearms violation and an animal cruelty charge.
