I'm a proud cat owner and i say NO! 152561[/snapback] So you are aware, it is for FERAL cats only not Domestic ones. So it wouldn't be open season on all cats. In otherwords, your house cat would be safe. That is assuming that you have a collar on the cat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daxon Report post Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) I already hunt hog, deer, and turkey (no turkey for me this season), but there's no way I'd add kitties to that list. I'll leave it to the people who run over cats with lawn mowers to do that. Edited April 12, 2005 by Daxon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Daxon Report post Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) Where's the option "all hunting, except for that on cats, should be forbidden"? 152605[/snapback] Called a biased poll. I can guess by the wording of the poll and all valo13 said.. that he voted for the second option. If you can ever guess what the creator of a poll guessed on, then it's probably biased. My philosophy. Edited April 12, 2005 by Daxon Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dent Report post Posted April 12, 2005 (edited) I voted yes, after reading the entire story. Feriles are not the cute and cuddly house pets. I have always been a cat owner and lover, and dont think I could ever shoot one. However, a feral cat is closer to a wild rodent in temperment than it is to a house cat. Not only can they be messy, disease ridden, aggressive pests in a neighbourhood; feral cats in the country often fill the same sort of niche that coyotes do. They hunt and kill small animals and birds, steal food and garbage from houses, and are very aggressive towards tamer animals. In farming areas, feral cats often prey on chickens, ducks, other birds, and small animals. While they can be good to keep down some pests, they breed rapidly, carry several parasites and diseases, and show no restraint on what they will hunt when they are hungry. Most *farmers* I know kill wild cats on sight. All in all, this idea makes a lot of sense from a rural standpoint, but is being presented in such a manner that it is guaranteed to fail due to liberal weenie vegetables and their long heart strings. As it stands, though, a large number of feriles are shot without a thought towards laws or liberals. Farmers shoot them in order to protect their animals. This law would simply mean that they were now 'allowed' to do so. I doubt that the folks who normally shoot cats would care one way or another if this law was passed or not. */edit* Edited April 13, 2005 by Dent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

valo13 Report post Posted April 13, 2005 (edited) i was hopin i would get some good input, i was more curious to see what people say about this, and yes i did vote no killin kitty. I have a reason though, my cat was a ferile, they can be tamed and cleaned up, now my cat is as clean and tame as anyone elses house cat. there is other solutions then shoot em, plus some domestic cats could be killed on accident. lol and chatter humans do more damage to the environment and everything else then any animals.

Arnieman Report post Posted April 13, 2005 One one hand, we have cats overpopulating. They keep breeding and keep breeding, and there are getting too many for the ecosystem to handle. On the other, you have the domestic cat that may get out and in danger, the vindictive neighbors who'd likely use the law as an excuse to upset a neighbor they don't like, the careless owner who lets their cat roam free, and many similar instances where a tame cat would end up a victim of a law aimed only at the wild. So, let the wild ones take over your yard, or let your pet cat check out with the wild ones? Tough choice. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
