What you think is immaterial to me. Just keep your cats spayed or
neutered and out of my bird patch.

Well it won't take much to find your cop buddies and turn them in
also....and by the way they WILL know who turned them in for shooting lynx
which is only in season at certain times unless .... OMG! are your cop
buddies and you poachers! Do I need to let the police know that too? Keep it
up Bret any more stupid posts and I'll have your a.s in a cell doing what
you do best..... cleaning other peoples sh.t out of disgusting toilets!

Impotent howling maniacs persist in dumbness, to wit:

all about you. keep it up..... You'll se what I do<<

You don't. You won't.

sport. And man is a cause for much more killing than feral cats not to
mention the fact that humans caused the feral situation in the first
place.
TNR (Trap, Neuter, Return) is the only and best way to deal feral cats
as
they have a right to live. BTW, if you are serious and actually kill a
feral
cat or harm them, that is considered animal cruelty and depending on
the
laws in your state is most likely a felony.<<

It's not my job to educate you on the law in each possible state I may
visit, which is at least seven within an easy weekend drive, and twenty
by light plane.

It's not my job either to force you to accept the FACTS about TNR and
the damage feral cats inflict on the North American ecosystem. That is
a good thing because I'm sure it would be futile. If you choose to be
as a child like all the other cat lubbers that is your right. I have
made the decision to be an adult in a world of children. Like putting
insurance on my car  and using a condom when making love, dispatching
ferals who attack desireable songbirds is good citizenship.

And it sure as hell is not my job to figure out why it is feral cats
have a right to live but the large number of native species they kill
do not. I'm not that smart, and no one else I know is either.

employed by law enforcement does not give you permission to kill feral
cats.
Sounds to me like you are full of crap.<<

I obey the law. My guess is some cat lubbers wouldn't and would damage
my property or person or even kill me to stop me from doing something
the authorities can and will not. They can and will not because there
is no law against it. I see no need to assist in my own unlawful
destruction.

will be very interested in tracking this guy down. I am willing to bet
Missouri has an animal cruelty law in the books that covers bozos like
this
troll.<<

Missouri can't stop its residents from shooting cats in other states.
It does not even make an attempt to do so on a state level in
unincorporated areas in most of its counties. St. Louis City and County
are big busybodies so guess where I especially don't go.

anything till they get 2 complaints :)<<

If every hunter, farmer and rural dweller in the Show Me State that
regularly shot unwanted feral cats were imprisoned the state would go
bankrupt. Half the state would be in prison and the other half would be
hired as correction officers to watch them. The Missouri taxpayers
won't even pay to fix the car-damaging potholes on I-70, what makes you
think they are going broke for disease ridden rats with claws?

For the few of those of you not totally brain-infested with cat lubb,
consider:

The domestic cat (Felis catus) is a beloved house pet, with over 77
million pet cats nationwide. Of these, about 43 million spend some time
outside.  Additionally, there may be 60 to 100 million homeless stray
and feral cats.  Domestic cats are becoming a common feature not only
of our backyards and city streets but also of our parks and other wild
lands.

Domestic cats are descended from the wild cat of Africa and
southwestern Asia and were domesticated by the Egyptians about 4,000
years ago.  Animal behavior experts note that cats will hunt and kill
even if well fed.  Domestic cats are very effective predators on
rabbits, squirrels, mice, lizards, snakes, and many species of wild
birds.

Domestic cats can have impacts on native wildlife:

   *

     Domestic cats are not a part of natural ecosystem. A single
individual free-ranging cat may kill 100 or more birds and mammals per
year. Scientists in Wisconsin estimate that cats kill at least 7.8
million birds per year in that state alone. Even cats with bells on
their collars kill birds and small mammals.
   *

     Cats compete with native predators and spread disease.
   *

     Domestic cats can be a nuisance and cause damage in many of the
same ways that wild animals do, such as killing poultry and other small
domestic stock.
   *

     Homeless cats may compete with pets for food.
   *

     Free-ranging cats can kill birds at bird feeders.
   *

     Cats can be a nuisance in gardens when they defecate and cover
their feces by digging.

Modify your actions to begin solving the cat problem.

Do not feed cats other than your own. Do what you can to eliminate
cat's artificial food sources. Bring in pet food at night and secure
trash cans by fastening the lid tightly or enclosing in a bin with a
locking lid.

Keep bird feeders away from bushes and underbrush where cats can hide.
If a free-ranging cat remains a problem at your feeder, you may need to
stop feeding birds for while to allow the cat to move to other hunting
areas.

Try to work problems out with your neighbors by first determining if
the cat is owned and asking the owners to control their cat. The
nuisance cat may be homeless or it could be your neighbor?s.

When all else fails you can trap the cat in a humane way and transport
it to an animal shelter. Make trapping a pet cat a last resort and
check your local ordinances first!  In some communities, it is illegal
to trap a neighbor?s cat even on your property.  Use a live trap
baited with sardines or tuna spread on newspaper or a paper plate.
Place the bait in the back of the trap so that the cat must enter the
trap to get the bait. Check the trap regularly, preferably every hour.
To keep from capturing animals such as raccoons and opossums, only trap
during the day. Be very careful not to be bitten or scratched; stray or
feral cats can carry rabies and other diseases. You can receive
additional technical assistance on dealing with nuisance domestic cats
through your local Humane Society or animal shelter.

If you are a cat owner, be responsible:

Obey your local pet control ordinances, and do not allow your cat to
become someone else?s nuisance.

Recognize the impact that your pet may have on native wildlife and
consider making your cat an indoor cat. Indoor cats live longer, stay
healthier, and do not kill native animals. Outdoor cats can be trained
to be indoor cats and new pet cats should stay indoors right from the
start.

NEVER intentionally release cats into the wild. Abandoning cats is
inhumane, harms our native wildlife, and is against state law.

I don't live in Florida. I don't know less care how Florida handles
feral slayers. I know the laws where I operate. I know the terrain, and
I know where the cat lubbers who may become unhinged are. And I know
cat anatomy well enough to place my shots for clean one shot kills, at
any range I can engage them.

There's only one way you can stop me: clean up the feral cat problem
yourself. Cut off the human-sourced food supply to them, and either
trap and adopt or euthanize them, or get them to modify their behavior.
Since the latter isn't likely to succeed, I'd suggest the former.

Have a nice day, varmint lovers.
