Is anyone else as disgusted by the proposal to make
hunting domestic cats legal as I am?
Mark Smith of La Crosse has proposed that hunters in Wisconsin make free-roaming domestic cats an "unprotected species" that could be shot at will by anyone with a small-game license. Smith is convinced that roaming cats are a hazard to wild birds. Whenever I look out my window, I see wild birds flourishing! Birds like Canadian geese are making a mess of parks and golf courses. I don't think these birds need to worry about cats!
As the owner of two cats, I can't imagine these wonderful pets being targeted. While our cats are strictly kept indoors, they will try to sneak our if given the opportunity. If, God forbid, my cats were to escape, I would hope a citizen would take them to a local shelter instead of shooting them!
Many farms allow cats to live outdoors, controlling mice and vermin. Cats are doing more good than harm!
