I'm inside the city limits, but thanks for the warning.
I Imagine many cats are dumped off outside the city limits.

Here's it's being inside the city limits that's the biggest risk for your cat. Cats just aren't allowed to roam free, plain and simple. For all the reasons people have given in here, it's just not allowed. If they're loose, they'd better be darn clever and good runners, because people will trap, or catch them, and turn them in.

that's fair.
10 years ago, when we moved to this neighbourhood, our close neighbour,
warned me that he traps cats, and hates cats, we glared at each other for a
few minutes, and nothing more was said. Well, that cat is dead, my husband
accidently ran over her in our driveway, we both cried that night. This cat
has been here for 8 years, and wanders all over the place, as there is a
bush on the outside of the area, where she visits, and walks right through his
yard, on the way, and he has never bothered her,( he seems to like her now),or the other
one, or any of the cats in this area.
All smoke, but no fire, all mouth, but a 'soft spot' non the less, he and I are
friends and have had no problems since that day.

I don't mind house cats, but cats that roam the neighborhoods and forrests killing and destroying nests and amphibians just to fulfill thier instincts to hunt and kill should not be allowed. When I hunt for birds for food, myself and my fellow hunters will kill a cat on site in the woods because of the destruction they cause to quail and other birds. In my hood, I trap them so they don't destroy the bird nests of Baltimore Orioles, and other songbirds that eat mosquitoes and insects around my home.

If it where legal, I would shoot them on site and hang their collars on the doors of the owners or mail it to them as a warning. I have owned a few cats and enjoyed them allot,,,,"in my home".

If you wouldn't allow a lion in your living room, why would you allow a cat in you backyard? Some of you cat lovers are out of touch with reality just like the enviourmentalist in our country.

As a hunter shouldn't you eat eveything you kill?

I'm 100% behind your principal, when you have a bunch of critters co inhabiting and some are a menace to the others, then you have to make a decision as to the benefits and liabilities. Quail and orioles are wild, cats are supposedly domestic, so like you I would discharge the cat- if it can't be returned to a domestic situation.

I'm all for a solution but bagging one cat here and there doesn't solve the problem. Around here there is one spot where everybody dumps their cat when they get tired of it or whatever. That is a lot of cats and for the most part some groups try and care for them out of their own pockets. It's an ongoing problem, for myself if they eat a quail that I think belongs on my plate instead of theirs the solution would be to let them have a meal as missing that one plate isn't going to kill me.

Couldn't 'science' come up with a birth control med that could be added to something they would willing eat or drink? Stopping the births in the wild might solve that part but people will still abandon a cat by taking it to the woods and letting it go.

Ahh yes typical of the sickly gun owner. Shooting pets and hanging collars on the doors of the owners.

No balls when it comes to knocking on someone's door and telling them you killed their cat? Of course not. Clearly there needs to be far stricter laws regarding gun ownership in this country and I would love to see these non law abiding gun owners stripped of their guns and never allowed to be near a gun or a cat for that matter again.
