To Blackbird......if you were my neighbor (thank God youre not), you would have the cops called on you....you seem to enjoy that just a Tad To Much

Well I'm 75% hunter ^.^ We go out every year for deer, bear, rabbits, squirrels, etc. I live pretty darn close to the middle of nowhere...

Yea you can get a license to shoot those animals..........where I live it's against the law to "spill a cats guts"....I guess what is most offensive is the way you put it...sounds aggressive

On your property in most places I was aware it was perfectly legal to shoot dogs/cats that threaten your livestock.

What do you really think the police are going to do??? Your protecting your animals!!! There is a law that says I can protect my animals from predators!!

I prefer another route....you know, like calling animal control, the day will never come that I shoot a cat or a dog...but you guys have fun

No, the day has not come where you have lost an animal to a cat or dog. Then you will think differently.

Animal Control told the OP to FEED a feral cat! They're clearly ill-advised for this event and in any case, they would kill the animal as well. Save the time, effort and problems.

Feral dogs can kill all your goats and even pack up and kill a cow if you 'let' them. One feral cat can mean the difference between eating that week and not... it's what farmers have to do. And it's not 'fun'. It's what you do.

I understand not wanting to kill an animal (though what makes a cat more special than a bunny or chicken is beyond my grasp) and having compassion for living creatures - but in these instances it saves more lives to kill one than it does to wait around for someone to maybe catch the animal you already know is there.

Agreed. I had lost 1 lf partridge cochin and BOTH of my buff silkies before the cat was disposed of.

Unfortunately Yes I have lost chickens to a dog and called animal control and they picked the dog up and he was later placed and not euthanized....so nobody had to be shot ! yay....and as Sick as I was over my chickens , I wouldnt shoot a dog...some dogs don't know any better
