Bewa coyotes killing cats

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.

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 would have swerved to avoid the cat. A motorcycle is something that can
be
replaced, a life can't.


Your right. My life cannot be replaced, so I nailed the cat... I'm sure
the idiots who let fluffy out have already replaced it... Get a life you
douchbag...
