““the cat needs a strongly aversive treatment by humans”
Slap him around a bit? You go ahead. I’ll stand over here.”
A FReeper from Evergreen, Co (and Miami) once observed, in a discussion about successful aversive conditioning of predators, that “A broken rib is the gift that keeps on giving.”
In light of such wisdom, perhaps Predator Panderers should be taught how to kick in one rib on the first capture, two on the second, ............ As long as Cutie the Cougar was sufficiently conscious to remember the source of the “Gift”, and that is a matter of adjusting the meds, there is reason to believe such aversive conditioning via the “Gift that keeps on giving” would work.
The nearest Homeland Security Thug could do the teaching, as could SWAT team members.
Just heard of an account of electric tape fence for deer.
Of course they could just jump over it to get to what they want to get to, but...
smear some peanut butter on the tape, and the deer will come up for a lick, with all his buddies. He’ll set up a squeal and an alarm such that that herd won’t be coming back for quite some time.
