Of course a litter of kittens makes fine... THE TRUTH. You can't handle it.
This is the truth. Read it, every word, cat lubbers. Then look at your fat, debased selves in the mirror and ask yourself: Is the carnage worth it? Is there no SHRED of decency and moral rightness inside yourselves that cannot spare a thought for the innocent victims of your insouciant, illegal alien invader feral murderers? You are morally bankrupt, somewhere between Vidkun Quisling and Pat Newcomb. Rot in the fiery pit, perverters of nature! http://sandhill.typepad.com/sandhill...sin_feral.html Wisconsin Feral Cat Hunt Guns and kitties - PETA is going to have a field day with this one. There is a serious problem of feral cats driving other predators out of their eco-niches, thus limiting biodiversity and pressuring prey populations to an extent that native species do not. On April 11th the Wisconsin State Department of Natural Resources (DNR) will hold public hearings on whether or not to off the kitty. Here is the question: Studies have been done in Wisconsin concerning effects of free roaming feral domestic cats. These studies showed free roaming feral domestic cats killed millions of small mammals, song and game birds. Estimates range from a minimum of 47 million up to 139 million songbirds are killed each year. Free roaming feral domestic cats are not a native species in Wisconsin. The above mentioned cats do however kill native species therefore reducing native species. At present free roaming feral domestic cats are not defined as a protected or unprotected species. Thus Wisconsin should move to define free roaming feral domestic cats, as any domestic type cat which is not under the owner's direct control, or whose owner has not placed a collar on such cat showing it to be their property. All such defined free roaming feral domestic cats shall be listed as an unprotected species. In so doing Wisconsin would be defining and listing free roaming feral domestic cats. Do you favor the DNR take steps to define free roaming feral domestic cats by the previously mentioned definition and list free roaming domestic feral cats as an unprotected species? Consider the weasel. No, consider the family mustelidae: Martes americana, Pine Marten, range map, Michigan site Martes pennanti, Fisher, range map, Michigan site Mustela erminea, Ermine or Short-tailed Weasel, range map, Michigan site Mustela frenata, Long-tailed Weasel, range map, Michigan site Mustela nivalis, Least Weasel, range map, Michigan site Mustela vison, Mink, range map Gulo gulo, Wolverine, Michigan site Taxidea taxus, Badger, range map, Michigan site Spilogale putorius, Spotted Skunk, images Mephitis mephitis, Striped Skunk, range map, Michigan site Lutra canadensis, River Otter With the exception of the wolverine (Gulo gulo) and the Badger (Taxidea taxus) your common house cat can kick all of these natives' asses. A feral cat will kill a weasel just because it can. A cat hunting in the woodlot will deplete the shrews, voles, mice, and other small birds and mammals that the native carnivore species require to survive. Consider the fox and his buddy the coyote. Consider the wolf, consider the timber wolf. Consider the bobcat, consider the lynx. These wild cats and canids exist in small enough numbers that they represent no significant threat to the feral house cat population in Wisconsin. Feral cats breed quickly and their kittens have a high survival rate. Of course a litter of kittens makes fine hors d'oeuvres for coyotes, but unfortunately the canids seldom find them when at they're at their tenderest. So the kittens grow up to compete with their wild brethren for food and territory. In the city live the insipid cause of the feral cat cat problem. These people, the ones who will release Pussy-puss on a country road when she's just too much to care for anymore, have a complicated solution to offer. They think the feral kitties should be live trapped, spayed and neutered, and released into the wild to kill again. Applying voodoo population dynamics principles, the urban kitty-liberals assert that removing the cats merely makes the remnant population breed faster, whereas simply neutering as many as possible is the humane approach and will somehow address the problem. Here's what I propose: shoot them, trap them, poison them, remove them. Drown them, club them, hang them, crush them, skin them and sell their little pelts on the feral fur market. Hunt them with dogs, with trained lions, with domesticated wolverines, stampede buffalo through their habitat, befoul their kitty litter and deprive them of kibble. Poison their prey and watch what happens in their feral food chain. More moderately, there is no law against controlling them now and if the resolution declaring an open season fails to pass, there will still be no law regarding their control. The Dane County Humane Society will continue their trap, neuter, and release program. I have enough domestic animals of my own and too few native species so I probably won't be offering them a home in the country. But this is a classic case of live and let live. I wonder why the matter is being brought forward to the DNR. Everyone handles the problem in his own way in the country. On our road there used to be a black and white tribe of ferals. John Herm moved in down the road, poisoned them all out of his buildings and we don't see many of them around here any more. We see more bobwhites though. And the year after the doctor poisoned the kitties we had a Norway rat explosion. I poisoned them. We seem to have reached some kind of balance of carnage here these days. I don't want to add the humane society's ferals back into the mix. |
