Cat Forum / Cat Anecdotes / March 2005Wisconsin/domestic cat hunting
How sick is this? http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=wisconsin+cat+hunting We need to do something about this. Jane > How sick is this? > http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=wisconsin+cat+hunting > > We need to do something about this. A start would be an on-line petition, which would spread through the international community like wildfire. Wisconsin political leaders need to know that they have world condemnation and that their votes will be affected if something so barbaric is passed. I'll bet odds on that the A$$hole proposing the bill is a cat hater looking for a legal reason to shoot peoples pets for kicks.

May it get voted down in a landslide. There are FAR better ways to get a handle on the cat population than to have hunters shooting them. There's NO way to tell if a particular cat is someone's family pet that has accidentally gotten out, if it's a pet that is an indoor/outdoor (or just outdoor) cat, or if it's truly feral. And regardless of which description fits it, just shooting cats is no solution at all. Whoever dreamed up this stupid idea, it would serve them right if they were vilified by the pet-owning population of Wisconsin. I agree with Helen, it probably is the brainchild of some cat-hating [expletive] who's looking for excuses to shoot at cats. DOWN with this proposal! I don't live in Wisconsin, but if non-residents are welcome to offer an opinion, I'll gladly provide a vehement NO. Just tell me whom to write, email, etc. Donna > [[theaboo1961@webtv.net wrote: >> How sick is this? [quoted text clipped - 34 lines] > > Donna I've noticed a trend lately about poor treatment of animals and fire fighters. Wasn't it just a month or two ago a fire fighter bit the head off a pet bird while at a party? I'm in no way condemning the entire profession (I have a pet-loving cousin who is a fire fighter). But so many people seem to go into this because it's a "macho" job. And with "macho" often comes that "I'm better than everyone else" attitude.

My first wife's cat Theo (RB) was pulled out of an apartment fire, and immediately had his mouth cleared and was put on oxygen. He wouldn't have made it to an estimated well-over-20-years had this not been done. > DOWN with this proposal!

Jill >>>> DOWN with this proposal! I don't live in Wisconsin, but if >>>> non-residents are welcome to offer an opinion, I'll gladly provide [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > > Jill I said that the proposal to shoot cats in Wisconsin was "all over the Internet" therefore known to the world. I didn't say anything about where I heard it, nor did I say anything nasty or threatening to him. I said I was phoning from the UK, thought it would be a very good idea to reconsider and wondered what the BBC might think about it if they got to know. I haven't done anything about informing the BBC yet. You Americans please keep me posted on what's happening about this. I'm hoping the outrage he seems to have attracted might be enough, but I am very prepared to take it further if not. Imagine! If anyone shot my cats I wouldn't be responsible for my actions if I found who'd done it. I can only know what Mark Smith does after all this outcry if you lot tell me. Please do. Ah, this has got me fired up and it takes a lot to do that! Tweed > >>>> DOWN with this proposal!

So, things are looking up ;) I say that in the way that I mean there is a large reaction to it. >> How sick is this? >> http://news.google.com/news?hl=en&ned=us&q=wisconsin+cat+hunting >> >> We need to do something about this. >> >> Jane I have a friend who lives in Wisconsin; I emailed her the link and asked her to contact her legislators to protest this very strongly.
