Maybe they should learn to keep the cat at home, in the house.
There are several cats, probably feral but have no way of knowing, that come onto the property and cause problems. They climb under the house and have litters of kittens, the place smells of their spray and urine. No collars or tags that can be seen.
I won’t be using any arrows on them. I use a .22 when I see them and have a clear shot. Next, I’ll start using the 12 gauge. Then SSS. If they’re the neighbor’s cats- tough. Keep ‘em home. But when they go to other’s property and cause problems, then they’re gonna get taken care of.
The only problem with using the arrow is that it can hit them and not kill them, and they can then run away, maybe back home. Why should people whose property is being damaged have to put up with them?
I fully understand the difference between animal cruelty and getting rid of marauding animals. This cat probably fell into the latter category. That’s why it was shot. And I don’t see any collar in the pic. Maybe they took it off to treat it, but how is anyone supposed to know that it’s your poor wittle kitty when it’s far away from your home and tearing up or damaging other’s? Hmmmmm?
I live where mountain lions, antelope, coyotes, and wild horses are known to walk right across our front yards and unless you lived here you'd take one look at my neighborhood and never believe what I'm saying is true until you saw with your own eyes a coyote running with half a dead cat in it's mouth or a wild horse rolling around on your front lawn acting like an idiot. Every day there's wild horse bands that come down from the hills and forage for grass. The streets are littered with piles of road apples and some people who get up very early to go to work find their driveway and street filled with wild horses.
That said, I believe that anyone who picks up a BB gun, crossbow, .22 pistol, shotgun, or anything else and intends to kill a housecat or a stray dog just for walking across their property has voluntarily joined the ranks of the white F'in trash. Thank heavens that I haven't got any provincial retards like that living anywhere near me.
You can't be serious about the threat of little housecats laying waste to your property when we've got feral horses crapping up and down the street and stomping mudholes in the front yard.
.22-250
Fastest way to teach a cat to do a back flip.
You seem to be proud of your cruelty. Shame on you.
I honestly can't believe you didn't think there was a better way to remove the animal from your property.
I am surrounded by wild animals because I live in the woods. You think the wild animals don't damage or leave fecal matter in our yard? We have rescued deer, possum, raccoons, birds, etc., and have yet to kill or injure a wild or tame animal.
