In all seriousness, if a cat is endangering a wee child, put it down. Last thing you need is a kid with a bum eye. My friend's are blessed with a cat that will be dragged around by an 18 month old and still come back for more playtime... never once turned hostile. Others may not be so lucky and I don't think one should stand for it if their luck runs out. - BG |

When the cat attacks a family member in a non-playful manner. Particularly if it draws blood and especially if it opens an artery (or vein) and/or causes an infection with blood poisoning. Then that cat has used up life no. 10. I have some elderly relatives who are STUPID because they have a cat that has performed just such an attack on them at least five times, with all options listed above occurring at least twice. I truly do not understand why that cat hasn't been disposed of or taken to the pound. It definitely needs to be so treated as it has proven itself to be untrustworthy, unsafe, and a genuine hazard to life and limb. It needs killing, pure and simple. CJ |

I'll say this, most people that talk about wanting to killing cats are either A: Lying to sound "manly" because men aren't supposed to like cats.  B: Borderline psychotic.  C: Total ass pussy's that are afraid to fight other men so they take it out on defenseless cats.  I own 5 cats, and anybody that wants to kill them can once they get past me. That should stop A&C, for B, I guess I better have a gun handy.  |

Any and all stray animals are put down. This includes cats and dogs. It's just more fun to harass the cat people by telling about those. Offing a stray dog only brings out cop-wannabe jokes.  Honestly, I have nothing against cats. I actually kinda like them. I just despise stray animals, in general. As for 'how'..... Let's see... I can think of at least 1 cat w/ the 30-06, 1 w/ the 25-06, several with a .22 rifle, several with a .357, and several with the .40 s&w. |
 Nobody threatened to kill your pets. Please put down the testosterone, and go play with your kitties. |
Where I live, the idiots, we call flat-landers, come up to the mountains and dump off their unwanted animals, and if they are not eaten by the yotes, they become target pratice. Now, if you would like, you can IM your address, and send all of the money for shipping, and I will gladly send them your way.

How: at night w/ suppressed .22 and snares as to not alert the neighbors, especially the lady across the street w/ the peta stickers on her car. When: You have exhausted all legal resources: added extra fencing, animal control, local spca... Why: They are invading your crawlspace, shitting everywhere creating a health hazard, creating a nuisance by constantly fighting each other and dogs that are attracted by the scent, tearing up the insulation, tearing up the a.c. ducting, none have collars on. ETA: Don't kill 'em for food. The meat is too tough. Puppy dogs on the other hand... IBTL |
I see we have the same feelings about cowardly ones.

 Because the manly type cat owners won't pay for the $1500 dollar paint job when cat pisses and scratches my car!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! |

This thread reminded me of a time during my youth. I lived on a farm that had a cattle guard flanked on both sides by treerows about 100 yards from my front porch. Well, one day I am watching TV and my dad comes into the house and tells me that there is a porcupine in the tree by the cattle guard. Being the varmit lover that I am, I loaded my 22-250 and stepped out onto the front porch. I looked through the scope, and sure enough, there was a brown and black mass in the tree. I pulled the trigger and what followed was the most gawd-awful screech of a cat I had ever heard. Shit! hock.gif So I set the gun down and run over to the tree...sure enough, it was the wild cat that stays(ed) in the barn to hunt mice. Ooops. Split the son of a bitch in half! So I took it and dumped it in the wheatfield. |

I'll assume this thread is partially pointed at me. I like cats. I own a cat (or does he own me??) I feel no malice towards any wild creature. But, if an animal hurts my child (like a certain dead cat did) it's ass is toast. That goes for two legged animals, also. Period. Full stop. If you do any less, you are not fit to lead your family. Please release your wife to find a man who is worthy of the name. Feral cat + 9mm XD + Corbon + 3 lbs of trigger pressure = one less threat to my family. _Disconnector_ |
Illegal manufacture of silencers is comparable in the eyes of the law to the illegal manufacture of machine-guns. |
+1  Thank you sir. We have a cat (9 yrs old, indoor only). Smartest darn animal I have ever encountered with fur! As for cats to be "put down", strays with possible rabies comes to mind. Kind of an issue where I live and is needed to protect the public and other animals. Otherwise I leave them alone. |

I have a suspicion about "men" who love Cats. D. AZEX
|
"Men" do not act stupid and use weapons for killing animals that are harmless.
|
Sure.

Ultimately, HOW you kill an animal doesn't matter as long as it is not unecessarily cruel. WHEN is the point at which the animal is a nuisance and the owners (if there are any) have not corrected it, or if it is a danger. People that unecessarily kill animals for "fun" sicken me - but killing a stray animal when it is on your property, threatening your livestock, creating a nuiscance, etc. is entirely appropriate. |
