So 2 days ago i go make my rounds. I get to the Japanese bantam enlosure and find my proud little rooster without a head. He was pulled through the bars only enough to eat his head. I wad angry and saddened. So that night, i take his poor little body and put it i a trap. Next morning the trap was tripped but no villan inside. To top it off now all my hay smells like cat piss!!! A cat is the culprit, Im sure of it now. Ok... Trap to small. So i goto the feed store and get a much bigger trap. I think my 16 month old could fit in it. i bury the poor rooster, put a can if tuna with the lid still floating inside and leave it at that. Next morning, SUCCESS! A feral rather large tomcat was hissing and spitting. So since he has a thing for chickens and we are over run with strays. I shoot him. .22 point blank and he gone. Now i have avenged the poor rooster, but i took a life of an animal that was just trying to survive. I have 2 cats but i responsibly had them spayed young. i feel real bad that the poor creature was even put in this position in the first place. Moral if the story, please fix your cats. Not all will have a home and all those homeless ones gotta eat. Some resort ti even our feathers friends. Easy prey. And now a guilty conscience. I thought of giving him to the barn cat project. They fix ferals and release them back to farms to keep rodents down but who would want a chicken killer on their farm? *sigh* sorry fir the long story. Just needed to get it off my chest. Not the first feral around here that resorted to eating my animals. I wish people would stop dumping cats here and at least bring them to the humane society. They multiply fast. ( rant over)
