The cops have found her and She's in the shit now.

This forum is starting to descend to the level of the old "Small Game Small Brain" one.

I remember having tears caused by laughter streaming down my face while reading some of those posts...

I for one totally miss them...

Yeah, I don't remember seeing a sign saying that this forum was for "crat lovers" only.

Feline fondlers have a habit of getting their fluffy little panties in a knot when anyone suggests that popping a pussy is good fun, sensitive little buggers that they are.

Just peruse any of the British Airgun boards.
Plenty of tails of brave hunters facing FEROCIOUS RATS and FEARSOME BUNNIE RABBITS, with little regard for their own lives.

Oh, did I mention that I hate cats.

That reminds me of a rabbit I shot with a rubber blunt tipped arrow, bow weight was 80lbs and I was shooting 2219 full length Easton arrows.

The shot was awesome broadside right thru the lungs @ appr 20 yards that rabbit launched at least 5' - 6' into the air on its first bounce appr 4' on its second bounce and then about 5 1' bounces before it stopped.

and I agree...

Couldn't agree with you more! I think the point the other posters are missing is, there a huge difference in eliminating a feral cat and killing a neighbor's pet.

Oh and WHELENIZER, all I have to say to your above post is:



I guess you are the type of guy who would have a motorcycle in your living room.... ....really clarifies who we are dealing with.

And i have 2 motorcycles in my basement!

In my opinion not much different from shooting elephants. both should be hung.

You really cannot be serious on a forum that revolves around hunting in Africa that elephant hunters should be hung???

If so you really are clueless about Africa.

I shoot elephants and my girlfriend says I'm already hung??

I am clueless about africa. But I do believe that Elephants are intelligent beyond almost every other animal. And as such, I do not believe they should be shot, regardless of what they do.

After all, they were there first.

There are plenty of other things to shoot in Africa, all of which I would shoot to if I had the money to go there, which I don't.

Kevin,

It's a question of habitat. Elephant are seriously destructive and grossly overpopulated. There really is no other solution than hunting and culling.

Andy,

I enjoy hunting elephants and will never make an excuse for it. I hope to have the opportunity to hunt many more.

Population control and feeding locals is just an added benefit.

Funny what can end up on a cat forum.

If someone shot my wife's cat with a pellet gun it would not be a good situation. If somebody shot my labrador, well it would even be worse. In my mind I can distinguish between a household pet and a wild animal.

A #220 or #330 Conibear and a nice paved road to lay them on after works well. Gives the neighbors a chance to bury them if they care... So I've heard.

I grew up with cats and dogs both, and still very much enjoy them both. However, cats allowed to run feral do much damage, and uncontrolled litters exacerbate the problem...

Years ago when I was about 20, I had friends who lived next door to a "cat factory". It was not uncommon to go see Ernie and Mert and there be ten or twelve cats in their yard.

I drove over one day to find a half-grown bird mulcher asleep under the pull-out step on their camper. I told their son to go get the airgun Ernie kept around. I had no intention of killing the darned thing, just scaring it away. So help me, I never aimed, just threw the rifle to shoulder and pulled the trigger...

The cat twitched once, stretched straight out and quivered. That was it. OOPS!

And I once lived in a pretty nice home with two-car garage. If I left the garage door open when I got in from work because we were leaving again, ten minutes later there would be some un-cut tom in there, marking his territory. Well, they don't like the sound of the garage door coming down, and they like the sound of the entry door to the garage being opened even less. It kinda "soups them up", so to speak...

I put 13 tom cats in the trash over the three years before the divorce. Not out of hatred: because I cannot abide cat urine!

Obviously, and you've never taken the time to learn about the situation there.

Elephants are intelligent creatures but, like humans, they tend to become troublesome when their numbers increase beyond the capability of their habitat to sustain them.

Your mischaracterization aside, elephant hunting provides a number of tangible benefits - monetary incentive to the government and locals to keep subsistence poaching to a minimum, the presence of (armed) deterrence to organized poaching, employment opportunities, habitat protection, and meat when the animal is killed.


When the elephant has no economic value to the people of the country they share, the elephant will be extirpated.

Governments will not permit entire villages to starve to death because of the raids on crops by elephants; the only solution they can afford is to cull them.


IMO, feral cats (and free-ranging pets) are vermin, and the direct blame for the mayhem they cause falls to their owners who won't neuter them or keep them indoors.

If I were you I would get my quotations straight before posting.

Show me where I wrote that I was "clueless about Africa"

Somebody else was able to use my Name and make a post that stated that, but it was not me. So I erased it.

I admit I have not been to Africa. But I have done enough research on Elephants to feel confident in my belief that they are a very intelligent animal.

Yes, they may cause a lot of destruction. But I have a feeling that there isn't a person on this board that would not cause a lot of destruction if someone entered their home and tried to take it over.

Man causes far more destruction than any elephant ever did.

Explain this. People live in Africa where it doesn't rain for a year. There is no agriculture. There are no jobs. There is no housing. There is no food. There is tremendous disease. And yet they choose to bring children into that world. Not too smart.

"Pachyderms are smart, but why won’t they solve problems? Turns out they will — with the right tool.
Kandula is a regular elephant Einstein. The youngest pachyderm at Washington’s National Zoo flashed a moment of insight when he rolled a cube under a tasty branch, stood on the cube and stretched his trunk to grab a treat. Never before had scientists seen such an “aha!” moment in elephants, even though the animals recognize themselves in mirrors, drop logs on fences to get to food and even dig wells. “We knew elephants were intelligent,” said Diana Reiss, who studies animal intelligence at Hunter College at the City University of New York. They are as smart as dolphins and chimpanzees in some regards. Yet all attempts to get elephants to suddenly solve a problem had failed. Two years ago that changed, chronicled in an experiment published this month in the science   journal PLoS One. One of Reiss’ graduate students, Preston Foerder, gave the elephants sticks, which they banged around but didn’t use to grab snacks. Foerder then had his own revelation. “They’re not inclined to hold something in their trunk to get food,” he said. “It blocks their sense of smell.” So he hung the bamboo and fruit just out of reach, placing a cube or aluminum tub nearby. In the seventh session, Kandula “just suddenly did it,” Foerder said. The next session, Kandula rolled the cube all over the joint, using it to reach a flower he wanted to sniff and to play with a toy."

I hate cats especially when they sh*t all over my yard or they dig up my bark mulch trying to take a dump but hit the weed control fabric exposing it then I have to go around racking it off my grass... and I've never been to Africa either but my Sako Hunter IV in 375H&H and my reloads have oh did I mention I hate cats...

Both Cane Rat and I quoted DIRECTLY from your post which you have admitted you edited, so challenging me to prove you posted it is disingenuous if not downright dishonest.

If you're saying that someone else is posting under your id, we will suspend it forthwith and try to find out who it is.

22wrf,

There is no evidence yet of anyone logging into your account from another computer. Your account will remain suspended while the investigation continues.

George

Still no evidence of anyone signing into your account from a different computer.

If you can provide specifics on your claim that someone else posted under your username, please provide it.

I suppose posting a picture of my open mouth rug mount tabby with belled collar would be considered to be in poor taste? 11 shots? Why didn't you tape a bayonet to your barrel and give it the coup de grace? Thats B.S. What are you thinking? That's torture. Maybe if you take some "Weeniegrow", you'll become a man.

To The Specialist. Have you seen by now the light weight alloy pellets that get lots more velocity in any airgun than the conventional lead pellets? I figure you may have seen them by now. I think they might allow the piston to hit too hard at the end of its travel.

I'm another that detests cats every morning I go out into my immaculately landscaped yard/flower garden to find 3 or 4 areas that the local cats have dug up down to the weed barrier cloth and dumped.

One even dumps on top of my cedar fence rail or on my gravel driveway.

I am so getting ready to set out my Have A Hart live trap especially for the cat that lives right next door.

Since I moved here 5 months ago all the neighbors has done is bitch to me about my dog that is with me 99% of the time.

I am expected to control my dog but they are ok with their cat dumping all over my yard = not going to happen much longer...

Cats that are on the Loose are TARGETS

It is very common practice to shoot them when they are found feral in my area
Solution is simple.....Keep it in the house or under control or say bye bye, just ask that they return the collar.

When you shoot an animal with a shotgun he is shot multiple times, so the complaint isn't how many times it was shot but the duration of time between shots!

Dogs on the loose are TARGETS too.

They whine a lot if it isn't a clean kill but it stops them shitting all over the place.

Oddie! Your a crat lover?

All in jest.

Any loose pet that is destroying my peace of mind or my property is a gonner!

i'll just never forget the cat I shot with a 12 gauge slug when I was 12years old. I was deer hunting & this cat came by ... and oh well... . Those were the days!

How you been JTEX?

I was mistaken. And I apologise. I am leary becasue somebody actually posted some stuff in my name on Ebay and also posted some stuff on Gunbroker that eventually got me kicked off there. But now that I look at this here, I see that I did post what I erased. Again, I apoligise for creating confusion, and for suggesting that somebody else did something wrong when in fact it was me that screwed up.

If some states are changing their game laws to allow the killing of any cat found roaming, then they are simply changing their game laws back to what they once were.

It was well before my time, but in some states a long time ago hunting licenses would come with a reminder that it was a hunter's obligation to kill any freely wandering felis catus.

The ancients, and by that I mean anyone who lived through the 1930s or '40s, weren't under any illusions about the havoc domestic cats could wreak on populations of birds.

I like cats. I had a cat. I have friends who have cats. If you love your cat, keep it inside.



There are lots of good reasons to keep your housecat in the house. No good reasons to let it out.

I remember one of my coworkers from Michigan saying that feral cat hunting is highly praised by Fish and Game. He may have been from Wisconsin not really sure but he was serious.

Either way weather its legal or not its very distasteful to me i enjoy the company of any well mannered animal. I'm pet less at the moment but my job keeps at work too much to enjoy or maintain a pet at this time.
Lots of thoughts, passionate verbiage, and even anger offered here, but i think the original poster is laughing his butt off as he's never shot a cat or anything else for that matter. He's a piss ant web nerd that enjoys stirring peoples emotions.
