I'm afraid if I saw you shooting a defenseless animal, I'd have you arrested so fast for animal cruelty your head would spin.
"I'm afraid if I saw you shooting a defenseless animal, I'd have you arrested so fast for animal cruelty your head would spin."
In California if you called the sheriff because I shot your cat on my land they'd come out and ask if it was your cat, you'd stupidly say "Yes" and demand my arrest and then they'd tell you I acted legally and then cite YOU for any damages your uncontrolled animal did on my property.
A friend of mine in Lincoln, CA had almost this same thing happen to him where he shot a golden retriever and several other dogs after they had chased his bull and the bull fell and broke a leg, requiring that it be put down. This arrogant, stupid bimbo from the neighboring housing development called the Placer County mounties and they came out and cited her for the loss of the bull.
She was liable for the total loss of the bull at over $400,000.00
Keep you cats and dogs on your property and you won't have this problem in any state.
