I want to cull even non-feral ones, like these...
kinda deranged that you want to put a family through the loss of having their pet executed because you are minorly inconvenienced but I guess you'll probably reap what you sow
To be fair, if the cat lives outside, its nobody's pet. It's a roving bird murdering machine.
So if I go outside every once in a while that means I live outside and anyone can movie into my house?
depends are you murdering hobos while your outside in this scenario?
If yes, then your house will be probably be sold to pay for your defense, and someone will move into it.
I havenβt seen my cat murder any cats yet so Iβm not sure what youβre going for here.
They clearly don't care about it that much.
Kinda deranged that people kill many billions of animals annually by letting their cats roam outside. They made their bed.
And I want to cull people like you. A shame we don't always get what we want.
Cats should be kept indoors for a variety of reasons, including that they're one of the largest threats to native species in the world and that they live longer indoors anyways due to the lack of picking up parasites and are at no risk of being preyed upon by larger predators. But to say you want to murder animals en masse just because they don't understand property laws and do their business outside like... some sort of animal would is absurd, bordering on psychopathic. Might as well sit on your porch with a shotgun on your lap in case somebody's dog decides to pee on your bushes.
In most places which have these laws, any cat which is allowed to roam free is considered feral unless it has a collar or something.
Cats shit even wearing collars.
Check your local laws regarding your ability to cull nuisance animals on your property. If these animals are being fed by your neighbors that may cause relationship drama that is worse then a cat shitting in your lawn.
When I lived in the country side, we never had feral cat problems, if your cat ran outside, it would disappear ( probably eaten by cayotes ) in a few days.
What the fuck is wrong with you?
