Re: American state may legalise hunting domestic cats!
 

I've read the posts by the cat-haters in this thread and they have confirmed that Mankind just isn't progressing at all.

What a bunch of blood-thirsty, sadistic people you are. You can't beat your wives any more and you daren't belt your children in case they sue you. Bull baiting was outlawed over a century ago and it's hard to find a venue for dog fighting. Ethnic minorities are a no-no too but you've got to have an outlet for your blood lust so, hey, let's torture the domestic cat. Well, there's always the excuse that Pussy did/has/will/messed on your lawn/strayed on your property/eaten your favourite sparrow.

The attitude of some people who have added their comments to this thread, frankly, disgusts me. I have no quarrel with anyone who chases a cat off their property. What I find offensive and sick is the attitude that says "Kill it, hurt it". No doubt you are going to come back at me with all kinds of reasons for your vicious propensities but you will only be reinforcing my impression of you as latter-day playground bullies with a predeliction for violence, finding an outlet in a small animal.

Grow up, you ignorant lot, and realise that there is no place for you in the world of rational, caring, decent people. I don't ask you to love cats but I would appeal to the less nasty side of you in understanding that a cat is a sentient being that follows its nature and feels pain just as much as you do. I wouldn't torture a disease-carrying rat in the way you, so-called, civilised human beings suggest doing to a cat.

OK you're disgusted and you've appealled, you don't want any come back as to why so I won't, you are correct I'm a bully and the cats must be exterminated, it's the law of my property.

Yes, but what about the pythons?

Bagpuss, dear, I don't mind come-back. I just spoke my mind (a few posts had got "right up my nose").

I'm sure on any other subject you and I would get along great but, having done a lot of work at the RSPCA kennels/cattery, I do get rather angry at the thought of cruelty. I've seen the results.

Just had to sound off!
