You obviously have never seen what feral animals do to native species.

,,, bingo!

I wish I'd have thought of that first. I was thinking of how I could tell her I was made of meat.

Best not to mention the steroids and implants for "TB the bicycle cat" at this early stage.

All in good time, all in good time. Once we have the Bicycle Cat fully prepared, people will be so awed by your achievement that no one will question how you actually did it. "So they nailed its paws to the pedals," they'll say. "So what? Big deal - just look at him go!"

I'll send a check if you don't cash it until next friday.

Son of Rooster, in our crusade to save the Wayward Cats, we have journeyed into the shadier parts of town, where not many questions are asked, if you catch my drift. With that in mind, we are happy to accept postdated checks, starter checks, out-of-state checks, blank checks, checks with other people's names on them, et cetera, et cetera.

"Mother Nature would handle an over population of carnivores like housecats by culling out the excess."

A fishing aquaintance of mine said a coyote moved into his neighborhood. Soon afterward it was noticed that cats, domestic and otherwise, started to disappear. Now only indoor pets are left.

,,, agreed, it's all about perception. It's the old "build it and they'll come" sort of deal all over again. Your strategies are flawless. I've been back from lunch for just over half an hour and I've found a cheap run of electrodes out of a manufacturing house in Guangzhou. Given my passion and a seemingly endless supply of what's clearly society's fault/cats to care for, we're going to succeed.

I forgot about my pet rat "Leroy Tyrone". Tame as can be and the 2 times he got out, he came back into the cage himself. But I have no pity of the rats my dogs kill in my backyard. Man they just hate small furry animals.

,,, we have a black cat, a standard black poodle and a gold shih tsu. The shih tsu is a psycho killer. She waits for birds to come near the kennel where her food bowl is. She's amazingly quick. The cat plucks low flying birds out of the air. I've seen him do it twice. This is nature at work, nothing more, nothing less. It doesn't come sugar coated or with Christmas decorations on it.

I'm in New Zealand and as much as tree huggers here love animals, there's a very quick reflex opinion in regard to feral cats and the toll they and stoats exact on New Zealand's incredibly beautiful native birds.

Excellent - I have found a steady supply of electricity by running an extension cord over the back fence and into the neighbor's garage.

It's all coming together...

Exactly. We are a fully registered 501(c)(3) non-profit, and 100% of your contribution goes towards the expenses we incur - bar tabs, lap dances, gambling debts, electric bills, et cetera. We're a very low-overhead organization...

Many people don't realize how many coyotes are living up close and personal with them. Coyotes are living quite comfortably in Chicago city parks. If the coyotes take out the feral cats--so be it. Maybe that is why I don't see as many stray cats as I did a few years ago--we have lots coyotes in my area.

I don't need to back that up. You can't prove I am wrong though. Because you know I am right.

PS. If anyone here has followed your threads they will see you have lied many times right here on FR.

For the record... this person knows exactly who Peter Singer is. We have even debated his ideas. For her to post this question is an obvious attempt to fraudulantly mislead you.
