Cats in my yard

[ruiner4u]

Its common knowledge that the domesticated cat is not common or natural to North America. That said, they could be harming the bird, chipmunk, and squirrel population. If you see a cat on your property do you feel like you should have the right to shoot it, since it is a nuisance to other forms of wildlife?

PS Dogs are not allowed to be left to their own devices like cats.

Let me know if you miss my drift.

[ruiner4u]

5. yeah i know...

I know your drift... And I loved the initiative <either WI or MI> where you could shoot feral cats.. Thats a problem that needs to be dealt with...

[flvegan]

15. You "loved it" huh?

The idea/action of shooting stray cats was something you loved?

You deal with ALL of your problems by shooting them?

[flvegan]

27. C'mon

little boy. Answer me.

I know you see me, let's have it.

Honestly, though...it's okay to have a really small penis. It's all about how you deal with it.

[flvegan]

29. Nothing? Nothing else?

Good thing I don't believe in saying bad stuff about folks.

I promise, I WILL defend you when people call you a bitch around here.

Word.

2. Dick Chaney in your yard?

Shoot him on sight then say you thought he was a Quail.

3. There were cats in my yard

When I moved in.
The Raccoon ate them pretty quickly, though.
By the time I realized they were in danger all but one kitten had been digested.
He is living with my neighbor's gf now.

4. I'm not voting in your asswipe poll.

I just stopped by to :popcorn:

[Quantess]

14. pass that popcorn.

[Gemini Cat]

28. Good. I like popcorn.

:popcorn:
Makes things easier.

6. If someone's child came on your property, would you shoot them too?

Why don't you get a live animal trap if you really want the cats off your property? Just catch the cat, look at its tags and talk to the owner. If it has no tags, take it to a local no-kill shelter.

In my experience, most people who talk about shooting pets have other agendas besides protecting birds and chipmunks.

[LittleClarkie]

8. It depends. Is the child in question digging up my begonias?

Or chasing after my chipmunks?

I'd probably fire off a few warning shots first.

[jgraz]

18. Well, when you put it that way

Fire Away!

7. You're a dog person, aren't you

10. If your area was in a natural state, there would be several predators to

keep the varmint population down. We have bob cats, mountain lions, wolves, etc that should be roaming all over the continent, but now we don't. Since Felis Domesticus has taken hold here in the USA, its now a replacement vermin control predator.

11. Dogs are not allowed to be left to their own devices like cats?

I see just as many dogs roaming freely as I do cats.

12. Another disgusting thread on DU

Is it a competition lately?

[Drifter]

13. What is your source ...

that cats are affecting wildlife ?

There seems to an endless supply of the critters you mention, as I find them on my back porch almost every day.

I think you will have an easier time convincing people that pet birds belong on a leash.

19. Hey, my birds are leash-trained

Check it out

[tularetom]

16. Are you one of these macho wannabes

who likes to brag about shooting cats to a group of little kids so you can watch them get all upset and laugh about it? BTW you are not "common or natural" to North America so what should I do if I see you on my property since you appear to be "a nuisance to other forms of wildlife"?

[aquart]

17. Europe killed off its cats. Got plague. Deserved it.

[HCE SuiGeneris]

20. Your a nuisance with that ass-wipe poll.

F'n tool. Don't like something -- shoot it. :wtf: :mad:

[Quantess]

21. I vaguely recall a news story

about some @$$h01e in Portland, OR, who captured neighborhood cats and took them to the pound, claiming that they were strays. The owners had no idea what happened to their pets, and many cats were euthanized, because their owners didn't get to the pound in time.

He was eventually caught, and he did get in some trouble (can't remember how much), but most likely the worst punishment was having an article written about him in The Oregonian, and being the object of scorn by all his neighbors and all cat lovers who happened to read the story.

30. He must have been a rat in a past life.

Cuz s/he has some serious issues with cats. For example:

23. Let's get rid of modern transportation.

I'm sick, I tell you, sick of seeing all the road kill in Ohio.

In fact, we should shoot any human that kills a deer with their vehicle.

It's common knowledge that automobiles are not common or natural to North America. That said, you should have the right to shoot it, since it is a nuisance to other forms of wildlife.

[Tierra_y_Libertad]

24. People are not natural to North America.

And, they wiped out a lot more natural wildlife than cats have.

Just sayin'.

[Captain Hilts]

25. If a belled, overweight, domesticated cat can catch a bird...nt

[verse18]

26. Just another reason for my boys to stay indoors.n/t

31. Locking.

Inflammatory.
