Self Edit:
ok I'm going to summarize the thread.
OP: I don't understand why people get upset that I have to defend my livestock with lethal force.
Other: Yes, people dump animals, that's bad - most of those animals die horribly- starvation, trapped, shot, traffic, weather, ect.
A person: And...

All good points, if you want to search my post I have had a person take a chicken, only to bring her back about 1 month later near starved-

Seems like there's three discussions here now and its a little confusing.
I don't recall anyone saying its "ok" (for an animal to go off of their own property) or they are not willing to face the consequences if a working animal strays from where it needs to be working and causes trouble...

Only if the cats 'actually' go into other yards.
His cats might not, and if one of his cats DOES go in your yard- you can SSS or trap and remove like he already said.
