So then you understand me wanting to kill your cat for killing native wildlife?

As long as you don't eat them it might be all right. Some dude got busted for killing and eating stray cats. Maybe there's a law against tax-free food.

It is ok for cat owners to let their cats go out and kill native animals so why is it wrong to kill a cat to prevent them killing native animals?
How? What serial killer or psychopath has used someone killing someone as an excuse for killing that person?

That's the same logic a psychopath or future serial killer would use.

This is ecology not murder.

Native species shouldn’t suffer because of a cat owner’s incompetence.
How about i put you in a cage? Let's see how you like that.
PS; reading through the rest of the posts. This is the most stupid thread i have yet to see on this site, and the responses are just sick.edit on 16/2/2012 by InsideYourMind because: (no reason given)

I am not against keeping pets at all. I don't mind cats, but I do mind that they are wiping out animals that until the arrival of the european settler had no predators. Quite simply these animals cannot cope and have had no time to evolve or adapt.
Well thats too bad. However, animals have gone extinct over the history of earth and that cannot be helped.
They either evolve or they die. Thats is literally the point of natural selection.

I'm an owner of two cats
I don't think it should be allowed to go around killing them, but I also think they should have the same rules as dogs when it comes to being outside
To those that said they wont "cage" their cats, you're idiots...a small cat walking around an apartment isn't "caging" them...that is stupid

Wow, just because I said I didn't like cats, the cat lover crowd come out of the wood work. I never owned a cat, or never really took notice that you can't keep a cat on a leash. That doesn't excuse you to let your pet roam around the neighborhood and do its business on neighbors lawns, attack other wild life and sometimes cause drivers to swerve from hitting them.
Personally, the reason why I hate cats so much is because my 6 yr old golden retriever was killed by a car because of a cat that was left loose. My retriever was in our garage and when I opened the garage door to take out the trash, my retriever caught site of a cat and chased it across the street. Unfortunately, my dog that has always been leashed and in a fenced in yard, had the misfortune to get a glimpse of this cat and dart from the confides of my garage. Try explaining the death of a pet to a 3 year-old that played with that dog everyday. If that cat was confined to my neighbors home the incident would never have happened.

The point is that they attack native wildlife, which happens to be just as important as any person if you understand ecology.

if you can't leash a cat, keep them in your house! If it's against the law for dogs to roam unleashed than it doesn't give a cat owner the right to let their cats roam.
but cats dont attack people and crap in playparks (yes i know your dog would never do this). where as i cant see any problems with cats roaming free.
silly thread.
Why is a cat the only pet in the entire world where owners do not want to keep it safe and stop it from harming other animals?
Your clearly ignorant if you can’t see problems with cats roaming free
