You sound like an invasive species yourself. Sounds like you enjoy killing cats. You are sick. Move to my street and try your crap! All your fancy IR crap won't help you. 26November 71 to 74. I can deal with you without even thinking. Most serial killers start out like you; enjoyment of killing animals. Yep, you are one sick person. Thank your lucky stars you don't live near me. Hope you get yours come Judgment Day!

The nice part about the laws in the USA, it doesn't matter how a cat gets onto your own property from criminally-negligent, disrespectful, and insanely irresponsible cat-lovers. Once that cat is there you have every right to deal with that cat in any manner that you see fit. I found a way to turn my home and land into a 100% fatal cat-trap which I now share with everyone who has been plagued by moron cat-lovers. Using IR surveillance cameras and baiting trails of fish-oils along all the roadsides to a feeding dish within range of my laser-sighted rifle. This can totally clean-out ANY stray cats for miles around. VERY EFFECTIVE if you have an idiot problem-neighbor by you. You can now get VERY NICE IR surveillance cameras on ebay for only $15 [search ebay with the string: CCTV (IR, infra-red) -- the 48 IR LED ones are best], and $15 rifle laser-sights as well. For only a $30 investment and the drained oils from tuna or sardine tins (or a bottle of fish-oil-fertilizer from your garden center) to make trails on all your roadsides, you can get rid of EVERY LAST ONE OF THEIR CATS in only a couple seasons! These cats are skittish as all get out. Further Help: Illuminate your yard with red-floods dimmed low on dimmers (they also put out tons if IR illumination). Once you spot one of their vermin cRats on your surveillance monitor, turn off all your indoor lights, and then SLOWLY, VERY SLOWLY, open the door so as not to scare them out of your yard. The dimmed-low outdoor floods also helping to shield your presence from their view and provide enough light to help aim by. Use the laser-sight to aim for a precision chest-shot. They die in under 3 seconds, often less than 1 second, not even enough time to make a sound. Contrary to popular opinion, do not use a head-shot. I tried that once, it took much longer for it to die. I now suspect that cats survive more by their reptilian brain-stem than any unused gray-matter that might be above it (just like cat-lovers do).

Wow! Never seen someone that hates cats as much as you. Definately did your homework too. Best not move into my area, everyone on this street owns at least one cat. There are no leash laws for cats, so yes, they roam where they wish. And yes, I can use a BB gun to run tom's off. Only reason I bought it. More humane than a bullet in the head. I have heavier artillery for those pythons. I don't know about your law regarding the killing of animals though. Don't think the law would look too kindly on me if I shot my neighbors cows when they got in the yard a couple of years ago. And in this state, it's against the law to kill snakes, even copperheads. At least it used to be. But that doesn't stop me from breaking the law. Copperheads are not welcome here. I'm curious; in the "Global Invasive Species Database", where do humans rank?

Shooting a cat with a BB-gun is illegal. That is considered "shoot to maim" which falls under all animal abuse laws. However, "shoot to kill" is perfectly legal. You can't use a BB-gun for that. Instead you would need at least a 700-1200fps air-rifle and pointed vermin pellets, often advised for use on vermin cats in no-firearms zones. The law in the USA is that it is perfectly legal to destroy any animal on your own property; someone's pet or not; that is threatening the health, well-being, and safety of yourself, your family, your animals, or even your property. Also true even in most densely populated cities, firearms laws permitting. If not then 700-1200fps air-rifles are used. The only animals exempt from you taking immediate action, legally, are those listed on endangered or threatened species lists, and any bird species under protection of MBTA (the Migratory Bird Treaty Act). Even then variances can be given should there be sufficient problem but this requires further study by authorities. Since cats are listed in the TOP 40 WORST invasive species of the world in the "Global Invasive Species Database", this means they have no protection whatsoever from being shot on sight, they are not on any protected species list anywhere in the world. Quite the opposite. Just remember: Shoot to maim is punishable under laws that define animal-cruelty (the ONLY cases cited by cat-lovers to deceive and manipulate people). But shoot to kill is a perfectly legal way to humanely destroy an animal. The same laws that apply to methods of humanely hunting animals also applies to cats. Unlike cat-lovers' psychotic beliefs, the reality is that a cat is just another animal. It's NOT their baby, their child, their offspring. Even if they do view their cats that way, letting them roam free is no less criminally irresponsible than them telling their child to go play in traffic, then blaming cars for their child's death. Any free-roaming pet's death is ALWAYS the owner's fault.

Yep, he/she hates cats. Or is afraid of them. Can't recall the last time I seen a Python in the yard, how about you TheLastHuman? And so what if my cats kill mice, rats, moles, and birds. They eat what they kill. God made them that way. And God made nature that way too Advocate. Invasive species? My ignorance? You are off your rocker.

BTW, shooting an animal is not humane, plenty have been jailed for it and you can also Google idiot and get plenty of hits. If it were legal to shoot everything we don't understand or everything we deem worthless you might not exist.

More amazing ignorance! Feral cats are by definition are wild animals and like any wild animal they should be respected and left alone unless you know what your doing and are prepared to accept the risk. Feral cats can make good pets however when properly worked with, "Trap Neuter and Return" programs have been largely successful in many areas but in the backwoods uneducated state here they are too cheap and too ignorant to accept it. I suppose that if one feeds Raccoons then one owns them too? Deer? The homeless? This is just animal cruelty perpetrated by a corrupt government and cruel people that not only would let a defenseless little animal starve to death but people too.

Destroying cats is neither hating nor a fear of cats. Why do psychotic cat-advocates always presume that if someone is removing a destructive, deadly disease spreading, human-engineered invasive-species from the native habitat to restore it to natural balance that they must hate that organism? Does someone who destroys Zebra Mussels, Kudzu, Burmese Pythons, African Cichlids, or any of the other myriad destructive invasive-species have some personal problem with that species? (Many are escaped PETS that don't even spread harmful diseases, unlike cats.) Your ignorance and blatant biases are revealed in your declaring that people who destroy cats must somehow hate or fear cats. Nothing could be further from the truth. People who spread a destructive invasive-species that tortures-to-death all other wildlife have zero respect for life. They don't even care about cats dying a torturous death from exposure, animal attacks, diseases, dehydration, road-kill, environmental poisons. etc., the way that ALL stray cats suffer to death. They don't even respect their fellow human being. This speaks more than volumes about their disgusting character. People like that should be locked up in prison for life for their cruelty to ALL animals, their own cats as well as all native wildlife they let their cats skin alive or disembowel alive. If you let cats roam free you are violating every animal-abandonment, animal-neglect, and animal-endangerment law in existence. While also being in direct violation of every invasive-species law worldwide. If people have LEARNED to hate cats today, these cat-lovers have nobody but themselves and everyone just like them to blame. THEY are the reason people are now realizing that all excess cats must be destroyed on-site. They've done so much to make people care about cats. THIS IS THE FAULT OF EVERY LAST CAT-LOVER. They have NOBODY but themselves to blame. They can take that all the way to the very last shot-dead cat's grave.

NatureAdvocate hates cats?

You can thank your local outdoor-cat-feeders for things like this. Stray-Cat Feeders TRAIN Feral Cats To Attack Humans -- These cat-lovers always like to claim that feral cats run away from humans, and therefore aren't the cause of all the thousands of new rabies cases. Google for: feral cat attack rabies Don't be surprised at the numbers of search-hits you get, nor the thousands of horrendous stories that go with them. The numbers of rabies cases or required rabies shots caused by free-roaming cats have been exponentially growing as fast as the cats breed. These stray-cat feeders are TRAINING these disease-infested cats to approach humans for food. And what happens when that child (or foolish adult) doesn't have food and reaches down to "pet the cute kitty" or pick it up to try to take it home? The cat lashes out and bites or scratches the hand that has no food for them. That means MANDATORY $1000+ painful rabies shots for the child (or any adult that is just as ignorant and naive). Paid for out of their OWN pockets -- because NOT ONE of these cat-feeders carries one penny of liability insurance for the DEADLY danger they bring to their communities. These are just the diseases they've been spreading to humans, not counting the ones they spread to all wildlife. THERE ARE NO VACCINES against many of these, and are in-fact listed as bio-terrorism agents. They include: Campylobacter Infection, Cat Scratch Disease, Coxiella burnetti Infection (Q fever), Cryptosporidium Infection, Dipylidium Infection (tapeworm), Hookworm Infection, Leptospira Infection, Giardia, Plague, Rabies, Ringworm, Salmonella Infection, Toxocara Infection, Toxoplasma. [Centers for Disease Control, July 2010] Sarcosporidiosis, Flea-borne Typhus, Tularemia, and Rat-Bite Fever can now also be added to that list.
