Bewa coyotes killing cats
http://www.townonline.com/medford/ne...pc06092004.htm
June 9 2004 Sampson said coyotes can be infected with rabies, but it is extremely rare. Statewide, there have been only two documented cases of coyotes with rabies since 1994. And it is almost unheard of for the coyotes to attack humans in New England. "I wouldn't worry too much about coyotes as far as human interaction," he said. Cats and small dogs, on the other hand, can easily become prey for the coyotes. "We have had quite a few cats come up missing in the city," said Sampson. "I know a few have been eaten by coyotes; there is no doubt about that." One feline victim was owned by Joe Testa, a resident of Allan Dale Road. He woke one morning in late May to discover that his family's calico cat had been killed, most likely by a coyote. Testa didn't see the coyote, but there have been a handful of coyote sightings around Norwich Circle, which is where the cat's remains were found. The cat, said Testa, had obviously been killed and eaten by another animal. The cat, named JJ, had been part of the Testa family for 10 years. "Our two little kids were crying; they were sad," said Testa, a father to daughters ages 5 and 7. "When my daughters were babies, the cat was already in the house." |

Cats are not wild animals and disrupt the natural order of things outside in the wild. A few weeks ago while on my motorcycle, I nailed someone's cat. It was not intentional, the damn moron ran out in front of me and I had two choices. Nail the cat or dump the bike... The bike is not going down because some moron let their cat out to be killed... People who love their cats don't let them out to be killed by coyotes, James Marz and traffic... Keep the kitty in the house where it belongs...

a cat is more precious a life and is not to be treated like an object. -- Panther TEK: Staying On Top Of All Your Computer Needs! www.members.cox.net/catprotector/panthertek Cat Galaxy: All Cats, All The Time! www.catgalaxymedia.com "grumpus" wrote in message ... coyetes, like motorcycles, are higher than cats. |

There's something worse for housecats than coyotes: immature cougars that
are too young to prey on deer. See http://www.boston.com/news/daily/05/odds_cat.htm And about 18 months ago there was a case in Washington state of a pair of sub-adult cougars travelling together who were after a man's dog while the man and dog were at his lake property. One of those cougars had a dead housecat in its mouth. The guy went back to his truck, pulled out a pistol, and shot both cougars dead. According to the interview of some law enforcement official the guy was within his rights. Personally, I think the guy could've driven off the two cougars. Killing them shouldn't have been necessary.

(...) moron would let their cat out to die in the wild. Cats are not wild animals and disrupt the natural order of things outside in the wild. Some other things that 'disrupt the natural order of things': cars, houses, roads, electricity. Let's all go and live in a ditch. Cats are not indoor animals, they have not been bred as such. To allow a cat adequately safe outdoor access is the ideal. A few weeks ago while on my motorcycle, I nailed someone's cat. It was not intentional, the damn moron ran out in front of me and I had two choices. Nail the cat or dump the bike... The bike is not going down because some moron let their cat out to be killed... Your third option was to be a competent enough rider to be able to avoid hazards. On the other hand, maybe you ride an absurd cruiser-behomoth that requires advance written warnings in order to change direction? People who love their cats don't let them out to be killed by coyotes, James Marz and traffic... Keep the kitty in the house where it belongs... My little gray kitty will live a long and healthy life without ever going outside... Long and healthy, but in an impoverished environment - unless you are taking great pains to improve same. S. |

(...) moron would let their cat out to die in the wild. Cats are not wild animals and disrupt the natural order of things outside in the wild. Some other things that 'disrupt the natural order of things': cars, houses, roads, electricity. Let's all go and live in a ditch. Cats are not indoor animals, they have not been bred as such. To allow a cat adequately safe outdoor access is the ideal. A few weeks ago while on my motorcycle, I nailed someone's cat. It was not intentional, the damn moron ran out in front of me and I had two choices. Nail the cat or dump the bike... The bike is not going down because some moron let their cat out to be killed... Your third option was to be a competent enough rider to be able to avoid hazards.

See http://www.boston.com/news/daily/05/odds_cat.htm And about 18 months ago there was a case in Washington state of a pair of sub-adult cougars travelling together who were after a man's dog while the man and dog were at his lake property. One of those cougars had a dead housecat in its mouth. The guy went back to his truck, pulled out a pistol, and shot both cougars dead. According to the interview of some law enforcement official the guy was within his rights. Personally, I think the guy could've driven off the two cougars. Killing them shouldn't have been necessary. What an AH :-( Have you ever tried to drive off a pair of cougers? Do you think you could aim a gun to disable at an animal lunging for your throat at 50mph? Twice? Easier said than done. depends, are you bigger than the animal? Ever been attacked by a pittbul, be bigger than pitbull, forced pitbull to understand canine throats dont like chokeholds? |

I'm sure you'd have no problem's taking on two angry cougers. Where were you when that guy needed you? here on planet earth, most human's wouldn't take any changes around cougers. |
