JoeF Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Not a good time to be a wildcat in Wisconson Article snipet... Feline lovers holding pictures of cats, clutching stuffed animals and wearing whiskers faced-off against hundreds of hunters at meetings around Wisconsin to voice their opinion on whether to legalize cat hunting. Residents in 72 counties were asked whether free-roaming cats — including any domestic cat that isn't under the owner's direct control or any cat without a collar — should be listed as an unprotected species. If listed as so, the cats could be hunted. The proposal was one of several dozen included in a spring vote on hunting and fishing issues held by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. The results, only advisory, get forwarded to the state Natural Resources Board. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alaska Darin Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 As usual, the wackos out there will protest because kitty cats are cute. Never mind that they are extremely destructive and very efficient hunters who kill alot of other "cute" creatures who are more necessary in the food chain. Sign me up.

IDBillzFan Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Shouldn't they start with Cat Juggling first and see if that doesn't lead toward more support for Cat Hunting? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was about 40 feet from my front door, and basically looked like what would be a basement window (if there were actually basements in florida). Anyway, it didn't take long to notice this is where several cats lived. My house is split in two, so it wasn't technically on my half of the house. But sure as sh--, give it two minutes, and i notice they are all over my property, and occasionally on my truck. I asked my neighbor about them, and she said they weren't hers, but she did occassioanly FEED THEM. Restraining myself from calling her a retard, I explained that is probably the reason they have stayed so long. Anyway, since she said they weren't hers, animal control was called, and they came a took most of them. Now, I don't know if the gestation period of a cat is 3 days or that the only ones they missed were the pregnant ones, but in the past 4 months, at least 8 new cats have arrived. Now, I don't think they deserve to die, but again, its lack of common sense (as crazy lady still feeds them). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
todd Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=stor...lling_wild_cats 302527[/snapback] I love cats. I just can't eat a whole one in one sitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Surfmeister Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Just ask the birds what is fair. Neighborhood cats stalk and kill wild birds and baby rabbits right in my back yard. Then they rip the feathers off of the birds or eat the rabbits behind my bushes in the front yard. This is disgusting to Mrs Surf, because unlike me .. she's a nice person. Some birds eat meat (crows, hawks, etc.) and the rest don't. I have never seen a cat kill a meat eating bird. They might do it ... but I haven't seen it. The cats have solved the problem for me. The cats set the rules of the game and brought their game right to my property. I watched it and learned it from them. So I keep it 100% fair and play ONLY by their rules. Meanwhile the neighborhood dogs are behind physical or electronic fences. People should keep their precious cats behind an electronic fence as well. But why should try when they think the dead birds and animals Fluffy brings home are cute! Here's my message to the cat owners ... NIMBY ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfmeister Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I feel your pain. That woman is retarded. I hope you keep calling animal control until they are long gone and you get that hole sealed tight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Surfmeister Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 Where do you dine? The Polynesian Cultural Center? A million years ago the cops ahd to close a Polynesian place at the corner of Main and Transit for just that reason. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRC Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 They're kinda gamey though... 302611[/snapback] Yes, but if you make a nice sauce for it you will be fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KRC Posted April 12, 2005 Share Posted April 12, 2005 I've found letting them soak in a marinade overnight will sometimes do the trick... 302629[/snapback] That gets rid of the toughness, but does not handle the gamey taste. I am telling you. Go the sauce route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
