today was warm, i walked out into the woods today. when i got back the the back of my yard i counted 12 cats suning themselves in my back yard 8O i wish i hadnt left the digital in the house. almost every one was mangy but 2 that i think were the neibors farm cats (who came for a bit if you get my drift)

the way i see it my back yard has turned into a slum infested with hookers that the neibors cats come over to see.

It's not legality, it's morality.

Things like morals should govern this. If it's a pet, don't kill it. If it's a pest, do as you will. Bottom line, what others don't know, won't hurt them.
Also, I wouldn't call it hunting. It's killing. Does one hunt pigions? No, you just shoot them.

A little more.

After reading my own post, it sounded a bit heartless, so I needed to add some things. I am a cat lover, I have one, and I'd hate to see her get outside. But if she ever did, she would be hit by a car, long before she would get shot by a "cat hunter" even if it becomes legal. I can see how it could be a problem out in country areas, but if your cats are on your land, and your land is posted, all you have to worry about is the poor thing getting caught in a combine or something. If it leaves your land, it's a stray, and you most likely won't see it again anyhow. I just think that if all humans still had morals, governments could worry about bigger issues.

This one of the more level headed threads discussing this issue. You should read some of the forums on cat people web sites. They would be more inclined to shoot a person than a cat. Many of them seem to think people with be hunting cats in the streets of the cities. It seems emotion over rules common sense.

Well you know... people are generally stupid all around.

I'm not anti or pro on the subject. What I do see is that for every 18 people out there legitimately thinning the population of feral cats, there will inevitably be at least one who uses it to justify playing with his shiny new gun and littering the fields with corpses and bullets (or worse: wounded but not dead animals) and there will be at least one who uses it as an excuse to kill his neighbor's cat.

Complicating matters is the fact that collaring a cat can be dangerous to the cat. Unlike a dog, cats get up in trees and could get the collar caught. I can't have pets where I'm at now, but I had cats most of my life and we never collared them, specifically for that reason. So how do you distinguish between the two, legally?

how do you tell the differance between a tame cat and a feral cat? if is on the inside looking out it's tame. if your on the inside looking out it's a feral cat. keep your cats in the house and it's not an issue. yes some jerk will shoot his neighbor's cat. but i highly doubt he will do it through the cat owners living room window, it will most likely be in the shooters yard where it does not belong. if they are able to litter a field with cat corpses then you are telling me we have a problem. yes there will be abuses as there is with anything, including cat ownership. do you not think cats are being shot now. this would require people to have a hunting license to shoot a cat. More and more people are getting hunters safety certificates so the level of safety among hunters should be increasing. people equate this with hunting cats in the streets, its not. it should help cat owner's become more responsible.

Kill a pet

Legalized pet killing. You know as well as I anyone who doesn't like your pet cat running around will kill it and call it a stray. Lets get rid of all the polititians who backed this idea.

ARGH

Did you even read any of this thread? No one is going to come and kill your pet cat. It will still be illegal to use a firearm "in town."

Im still undecided. I think it's kinda amusing that cat lovers are worried about their cats getting shot when it's their cat who is on someone elses property...poop'n in their kids' sandboxes.

Cats can be trained to stay on a leash. We do it for dogs, why can't cat owners do it for their cats instead of allowing them to go prowl around wherever it wants to.

But, like I said...Im still undecided about the matter.

Dogs and cat, both should be on leashs while outside.
It is the owners responsiblility.

A few notes .......

In some areas, wild dogs are a problem also.
Some responsible pet owners have cats and/or dogs that escape and are not outdoor animals.
Dogs poop in yards also.
Dogs and Cats both hunt if left into the wild.
Exotic animals are also pets and released or escape into the wild, just like dogs and cats.
Some cat and/or dog "lovers" are just animal enthusiasts reguardless of what kind of animals - wild,pet,farm or lab animal.
Before humans had pets they were wild or undomesticated.
Over population of any living creature will lead to unstable ecosystem.
