Cat Forum / General Topics / May 20054 CAT KILLINGS IN WISCONSIN
So far, 4 cats have been reported murdered in Sheboygan, WI. Did you know that they are trying to make it legal to hunt or kill (in any fashion) feral and stray cats in Wisconsin? This would mean that it would be open season on all cats without a collar. This evilness must stop. Please check out dontshoothecat.com You may have to cut & paste this URL. We need cat lovers all over the world to help us out here in Wisconsin. Mark This bill has been struck down. It was made official. I do not have the links any longer, as I delete the posts when I am done with them, but that bill was not passed. Wisconsin will not be known as a state that shoots house cats.

There was never any danger of that, only ferels were in danger of being shot (if the bill had passed)  SignatureThe early bird gets the worm, but the second mouse gets the cheese. > There was never any danger of that, only ferels were in danger of being > shot (if the bill had passed) And if you believe that i've got a bridge to sell you. There was going to be the inevitable incident where a neighbor removes the cats collar and shoots it saying "oops I thought it was ferral." The definition of ferral was a cat without a collar and I saw nothing preventing someone from removing a cats collar. BTW, the hunting age is not going from 12 to 10. That was shot down. >> There was never any danger of that, only ferels were in danger of >being [quoted text clipped - 3 lines] >There was going to be the inevitable incident where a neighbor removes >the cats collar and shoots it saying "oops I thought it was ferral." Sure, but that's not really any different from someone shooting a cat today and not attaching their business card. How much effort do you think the good police in Wisconsin spend finding out who killed a cat? SignatureSome people are like Slinkies... You can't help but smile when you see one tumble down the stairs. >>> There was never any danger of that, only ferels were in danger of >>> being shot (if the bill had passed) [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > How much effort do you think the good police in Wisconsin spend finding > out who killed a cat? It would have legitimised it, which would make it harder to prosecute them. > How much effort do you think the good police in Wisconsin spend finding > out who killed a cat? None, if they have the sense to realize that the murder of a human being and many other countless things are far more important. LRH WHO THE #$@^ WOULD SHOOT A STRAY FELINE?! IT'S INHUMANE! What moron would make a law saying it's legal to kill strays?! > WHO THE #$@^ WOULD SHOOT A STRAY FELINE?! IT'S INHUMANE! What moron > would make a law saying it's legal to kill strays?! Is it unfathomable to you that a different reality exists in Wisconsin regarding the stray cat population? IS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY LOVES FELINES AND WOULD NEVER EVEN THINK OF KILLING ONE NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT GOT ON THIER NERVES?! APPARENTLY NOT OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T ASK SUCH ADUMB QUESTION!>:( > IS IT IMPOSSIBLE TO BELIEVE SOMEONE ACTUALLY LOVES FELINES AND WOULD > NEVER EVEN THINK OF KILLING ONE NO MATTER HOW MUCH IT GOT ON THIER > NERVES?! APPARENTLY NOT OTHERWISE YOU WOULDN'T ASK SUCH ADUMB > QUESTION!>:( Well darling, get your mind around the concept because it happens every hour. "Getting on your nerves" has to include putting a cat down that is terminal and in such extreme discomfort that you can't stand to witness the suffering any longer. I mean if there wasn't any need to kill them. I mean sure if they were really old or sick I'd put 'em down but still i would miss them. > I mean if there wasn't any need to kill them. I mean sure if they were > really old or sick I'd put 'em down but still i would miss them. The "need" is defined in the WI law. Ferul cats carry disease and there is no way enough people could catch a significant number of these cats and turn them over for sterilzation, shots, etc to correct an overpopulation. Costs money too. Look what happens when squirrels, deer, wolves, etc start to overpopulate a given area. > > I mean if there wasn't any need to kill them.

Look what happens when squirrels, deer, wolves, etc start to > overpopulate a given area. What danger(s), if any, do these diseases present to the human and/or domesticated animal populations? Further, wouldn't this law simply make it easier for someone to kill *any* cats they might see, just out of sheer malice? What's to stop someone from taking aim at the neighbor's pet, removing the animal's collar and relocating the remains, then claiming they saw the cat in their own yard, without any collar, menacing the local fauna? >>> I mean if there wasn't any need to kill them.

Google is your friend. Pay attention to WHO is allowed to kill off stray / ferule cats and who is not. > >>> I mean if there wasn't any need to kill them.

Pay attention to WHO is allowed to kill off stray / > ferule cats and who is not. Google isn't here on this newsgroup discussing the law. You are. That's why I'm asking you. I'm asking *you* for *your* thoughts on my questions. BTW, were I to do a web search on the matter, which search term would I use--"ferul" or "ferule"? >>>>> I mean if there wasn't any need to kill them.

Wouldn't want you reading up on punishing cats with a silver rod (ferule) ;-) Philip wrote, in various posts: > >>>> The "need" is defined in the WI law.
