OT - On shooting cats
 

For those of you disappointed in the Wisconsin governor's decision to reject
a proposal legalizing the hunting of feral felines, here's a little
something to keep you entertained until you can get over to South Dakota or
Minnesota, where it is legal.

This is in extremely poor taste, it's almost as bad as savetoby.com .

Then again, there's always http://www.ebaumsworld.com/catapult.html . Play
nice now...

Is it also legal to shoot wild dogs in the forementioned states? The onus
of Irresponsibilty is the lazy,neglectful or just plain stupid owners who do
not get their pets spayed or neutered. A law requiring sterilization before
adoption would be more fitting in a semi-civilized society such as ours. We
may become civilised in a couple thousand more years until then we need a
myriad of laws and regulations to constrain our tendencies.MM

Yes, but only during certain months of the year (December through
June?) in MN and only if they're chasing deer. Not that we have wild
dogs. The coyotes or the wolves kill them. But we do have unleashed
/ un penned dogs in the ex-urban and rural areas.

Don't know if it's legal to shoot feral or stray dogs here in Wisconsin, but
the Department of Natural Resources takes a very dim view of them. As Cyli
stated with respect to Minnesota, it's the deer chasing that gets them
riled. Anyone here whose dog is caught in the act can expect a stiff fine.

Again, I don't know whether it's a matter of law, but shelters here
routinely neuter dogs (and cats, I believe) before adoption.

We may become civilised in a couple thousand more years until then we need
a myriad of laws and regulations to constrain our tendencies.MM

Civilization won't void the need for law and regulation. Given the
inevitability of conflicting interests, civilization is impossible without
an entrenched, complex and necessarily coercive means of conflict
resolution.

Fortenberry had better keep ol' Kipper out of Wisconsin.

I don't think the citizens of my fair state have given up on the issue. A
couple of small businesses have sprung up already to outfit the enthusiastic
"sportsmen" in their new pursuit: http://www.catcallusa.com/

Nor has the Department of Natural Resources. They know as well as anyone
that cats have long been considered fair game by a large contingent of
hunters, birders, and various others. They've never been very vocal about
it for reasons of their own. They also know that now that the cat has been
let out of the bag (so to speak) the carnage will continue at an elevated
level regardless of the law. Bubba has never been squeamish about offing
varmints. Now that the notion that he'll be doing the world a favor by
smoking Fluffy has gotten a great deal of public attention, he will be glad
to oblige.....regardless of the law. Whatever the eventual outcome of the
current politcal and legal wrangling, the feral cat population in Wisconsin
is about to take a serious hit.

Wolfgang
um.....but the bobcats and lynx aren't going to be real happy about it.

Which brings up the question of whether feral cats when subjected to
shooting pressure will become as elusive as bobcats and lynx. I've
been living in WI for pretty much my whole life (if you can call that
living... ba-bump) and the closest I've come to seeing an actual
bobcat was hearing a noise emanting from a dense stand of spruce
trees. A fellow hunter identified as a bobcat purring. It sounded like
a cat purring loudly and we were a long way from any habitations but
even though I spent half an hour moving around and peering up into the
trees I never caught a glimpse of the animal. There was also the time
when my dad had us come outside in the middle of a warm late winter
night and listen. Up from the river bottom that wound through our farm
came the godawfulest wailing that I've ever heard before or since. It
made my hair stand on end. My dad identified it as a bobcat that was
in heat (although I had no idea of what "in heat" meant, which means I
was fairly young).

They're pretty good at it already.

Could have been a bobcat.......more likely it was a teacher, a cop, or a
military type.

(although I had no idea of what "in heat" meant, which means I

Well, it da nort woods of Curdistan dat could mean you was about
five.......or forty-five. :)

Wolfgang
who ain't never encountered no kind of ferocious indigenous wild man-eating
cat.........hm........maybe another trip to hemlock acres is not a bad idea
after all.
