Just heard over the radio a few minutes ago that a local Kentucky man was charged in shooting a cat with an arrow. Lt. Tom Bivens of the Kentuckky State Police made the arrest and filed the charges. The man was charged with 1 count of animal cruelty, 1 count of wreckless endangerment, and has to pay the vet bills for the recovery of the animal. Seems like police are cracking down on this, and people are even reporting their neighbors. Here is another story I found.

I know I will report anyone I hear or see shooting a cat! I think it's down right cowardly.

Do you own an 8mm rifle? Do you sharpen the points on your ammo?

Sound familiar guys??? This could get ugly!

Great, one less Kentucky man to worry about! Genghis, give him our best will ya? I recall someone once commenting on a shot with a crossbow that nailed tabby to a tree, or barn side or something like that. I gave him a 9.2 for timing and aim, 9.8 for artistic merit! Bet he had a hard time getting the arrow out of the woodwork...

KMM was probably the guy that always reminded the teacher when she forgot to give out homework.

i would call the sheriff on anyone mistreating any animal that might be a pet.... right now i'm sharpening up my crossbow bolt tips for that cat hating phsyco next door............. think i'll try an pin him to his car door with it....

Is'nt kentucky where the hillbillies come from ?I seem to remember something about bangos.Report some one for shooting cats????????.Strike me pink thats the sort of thinking that gave us Politions

There is deception involved! True Kentuckians don't miss.

But tasco, if you didn't let YOUR cats roam throughout the neighborhood, pissing and shitting in everyone elses property, they wouldn't be ferals.

Killing cats is fun.

Go tell "Uncle Dad" or "Auntie Mom"
We don't give a shit

KMM how about you and I go on a hunting trip I can shoot the crats and you can sound it from the rooftops, thats exactly what I need someone to puplicize my exploits.

A cat that is being fed is a pet. Shouldn't have shot it. The real crime was the guy was a bad shot. If you are going to do the dead, do it well or not at all. He should have retrieved the arrow. They aren't cheap anymore.

So tell us KMM, what did the crat do to piss you off and why did you shoot it?? derf

KMM
I would appreciate it if you could find a cat lovers forum to lurk around and leave this one free of your babble!
I suspect that you are purposely baiting the regulars of this forum.
If was to be impolite I would say "Piss off" but I won't be impolite just yet.

Were the neighbors feeding that abandoned crat enjoying the spray left on their front porch?Someone should have taken it 'INDOORS".
And what this nonsense of usin' a practice arrow? Those are only effective (if not hilarious) if inserted length wise thru the crat.I've never had any luck with practice arrows and neck shots.Broadheads rule.
Now if you use a 'fish' arrow and a carp rig on yer bow,YEEHAW, now yer talking.

He wasn't charged with unlawfully shooting a cat. He was charged because he didn't kill the cat and it escaped and suffered. Dead cat = No problem.

I guess the reckless endangerment charge was because he shot the cat indoors. After all, poor Fluffy couldn't have been running around outside killing wildlife, could it??

This just in.......

Kentucky man that was arrested for shooting a crat has had the charges dismissed....The real culprit is this mans son and the father was going to take the rap.
