Since it wasn't feral, the owners care.    

The reason we have the law about feral animals is assholes kept shooting pets and claiming they thought it was feral.    So blame the kind of people who would kill a pet and use a loophole in the law to get away with it.  They got the law changed.

What's the definition of 'feral':

a feral animal is one that has itself escaped from a domestic or captive status and is living more or less as a wild animal


and

But a local rescue center says the cat, believed to be called Tiger, was domesticated and had been missing for around two weeks.


So it was living under the stars eating wild animals for 2 weeks.  That meets my definition of feral.

Posts in this thread are fucked up. Maybe this cat was feral, maybe it wasn't, but to make blanket statements about killing all cats and that any cat off the owner's property is killable is

Sometimes people make mistakes. Sometimes the door doesn't latch all the way. Sometimes the animal slips out the door when you get home. There are a million ways animals go missing every year, and people don't deserve to have their family members, regardless of species, murdered on site for a simple fucking mistake. I hope to God your communities show you more compassion than how you post on forums should one of your loved ones get loose, and I'm sure half you talking tough about killing all cats would feel exactly the same if this happened to your dog that accidentally got loose, right?

Reality: you just hate cats and use "bird populations" as an excuse to kill a living thing that may be someone's pet, a kind of pet you hate. Who gives a shit about wild bird populations.

I pray to God, for your own sake, that none of you live near me and kill one of my cats should they ever get mistakenly loose.



Well...keep the fucker on your property.

If a cat is outside, it's the same as being feral.  I don't give a shit if Meow Meow McWhiskerbean is the gentlest most lovable cat in the world, once he is outside he's a predator and an invasive species.  His life should be ended by any means available.

False.  We have 3 cats who live in the warehouse at work.   None will wear collars, all are owned by the company and have been fixed.   If anyone shoots them, they would be committing a crime; unless the cats are attacking their livestock or another human being.

Animal control where I live puts down, on average, 900 'strays' (Cats and dogs mixed) per month.

If people care so much why don't people not allow pets to roam free, or go adopt a few hundred of these domesticated animals per month to prevent their demise through a needle....



It was stupid of her  to do this sure. Career= over and she's probably going to have to move out of the state. But people like to whine about this one 'clean' kill on a random cat walking around a neighborhood at night when in reality thousands on of cats are put down every month around the country because no-one wants them/owners don't care enough to tag/collar them and let them wander.




I like animals and all but out of the millions of animals that are killed every year, for sport, because they are feral/nuisance, for eating, etc. I find it amusing that everyone is so bent out of shape over one clean bow-kill. I don't feel sorry for her losing her job. A vet probably shouldn't post pics of them killing random animals for sport. She probably belongs in another line of work. Animal control anyone?

LOL, I love the definition of "feral" is now "it's outside for a few minutes and doesn't have a collar." That could apply to Fluffy who escaped through the door 15 minutes ago!

I always thought feral cats could not be approached, would not want to be caught, and would be difficult to domesticate. Maybe "feral" doesn't have to mean all those things, but when I (and I guess many people) think of "feral," we think of a cat who has never had a home and doesn't want to be around people.

I know of several people who have adopted cats who were very thin and obviously had been outside for a LONG TIME. They sought out humans, obviously were very desperate and eager to be fed and would let themselves be petted. After a short amount of time, if fed, they'd let themselves be picked up. It was painfully simple to trap these cats and get them inside (and then taken to a vet). They went on to be lazy, indulged house cats.

So I think that's part of the reason why many of this ex-vet's customers were outraged, and the public on a whole is as well. If it's true that this was the neighbor's cat "Tiger," then the cat had only been outside for two weeks, and was very likely looking to get taken back "home," or at least wouldn't have objected to being picked up.

To act like the minute the animal goes outside, it magically transforms to a menacing "feral" who is beyond hope and desperately NEEDS to be shot on sight, is real retarded, sir.

This bitch learned that the hard way. Can't feel sorry for her at all.

Here's a page which outlines the differences between "feral" and "stray." http://www.alleycat.org/page.aspx?pid=712

I know that you ARF bad guys are going to try to wave this all away and say it means nothing. But public perception and what is commonly thought to be "feral" does play into this a lot. Whether you like it or not. If you think you have some God-given right to shoot any animal on sight, even Grandma's "Fluffy" who darted out the door a half hour ago, realize that you will face the backlash of the public. I know, I know, how unfair, you don't get to pick off the neighbors' cats with no consequences!

If the cat was causing problems on her own property, good shoot regardless of the cat's social standing. But the stupid bitch still shouldn't have gloated about it on social media, so that was a good firing too.

I am kind of curious about this, on what premise are you shooting stray dogs? A dog simply on your property is illegal to shoot. If its chasing deer, unless you have a game fence and purchased the deer they are not yours. Under what circumstances are you shooting these dogs? I guess I am missing something in your post and it would be easy to conclude you have posted about committing an illegal act unless you can clarify.

I'm pretty sure a more intelligent person would have been able to outsmart a house cat and trap it. She should have been aware of the law and been able to articulate why she did what she did. The icing on the stupid cake was posting on FB.
