(...) cars ("Hang up and Drive!"). I too, am against letting cats out *here* but I do think there are places where it is still safe (for now). ....which basically echoes my thoughts. I also don't think those who live in such an area need to be berated by someone who doesn't have a clue. Can't work out whether this is an insult directed at me, or not. Must be all the beer cans I've been crushing against my forehead recently. Steve. |

Steve G who goes by (very appropriate) scrawls (...) You, unfortunately, face multiple challenges; being unable to read & digest info, for example. Heavens ... we've got a live one here! I stated that I contacted the RSPCA [located in the UK, you must be aware of this organization or are you in the dark here, too] and was waiting for a response. I.e., you have no data regarding the UK. I also identified the 2 URLs as non-UK sources So, why did you post them when we were talking about the UK? Regarding the "feral cat" website. I reread it to confirm the information. You apparently forgot that i regularly posted about cars, poison, and human/animal predators. The example I pulled from the website included information about one - not all - of the topics on the list. I didn't realize you needed a 2 week search and 500 page commentary on your ridiculous charges. You don't. You just need to post something, you know ... relevant. Since you are intent on ignoring much of the info provided, I have no choice but to leave you to crush bricks or beercans with your forhead. Jolly good! I'll be thinking of you, amongst the brick dust. When you want to step up to the plate and have an intelligent discussion, let me know. I don't think there's a great deal of point my attempting to have an 'intelligent discussion' with someone who has such dramatic kneejerk reactions that she must look like a demented marionette. If at some point you show any capability to understand and appreciate different cultures, philiosophies, geographies, environments and so forth, then feel free to post something coherent. In the meantime... HTH HAND, Steve. |

I've read the same thoughts posted *time
and time again* from UK friends. I don't know the reason, or whether this is limited to specific outlying areas, but there's got to be a reason for it....I'm certainly not going to accuse Steve of *lying*. In fact, I'd like to hear more about it. As I stated above, my anecdotal evidence was exactly that. I'm not lying, but if anyone surfing the waves of their agenda wants to accuse me of that, I shan't shed many tears. I've never been called a troll before in 10+ of Usenet ramblings, so I guess my appreticeship is now complete. I've lived in both rural and city areas, so I don't think the lack of squashed cats is limited to outlying regions. I've never lived in a seriously 'inner city' area though. OK, ok now I'm finally getting the feedback I was looking for. Let's cut out all the irelevent junk about Greece and Australia and my question was...it just seems (from reading the cat groups--I've never been there...that road kill isn't the problem in the UK that it is here. Any idea why? Also, I am in 100% agreement with both you and Cheryl that there *are* places left that cats can, and should be able to go outdoors. Maybe not many, but that's why I *hate* to see a poster berated for letting their cats out by someone who hasn't a clue what the environment is. But on the highway I drive to the city, the road is always littered with roadkill. Both domestic animals and wildlife. There's even a Dept. of Transportation truck who's job it is to pick up everything from dead cats to dead deer off the road. (I always thought that an awful job. I bet he doesn't get invited to the Middle School on career day) Sherry Sherry |
