Halifax Councillors propose legal mass cat extermination
Forget the hunters, they can't compare to Halifax city council.
They passes an anti cat by-law that essentially made it illegal for them to be outside. Any cat found outside would be sent to a pound for euthanization. The odd thing was that these councillors did not look into funding the pound or enforcement of the by-law before passing it.
If the by-law they passed was actually enforced, 10's of thousands of cats would of been euthanized. Fortuntely they are so incompetent that the lack of a facility to kill the cats or any employees in place to hunt all the cats has prevented this mass slaughter from occuring so far.
Councillor David Hendsbee, Linda Mosher, Andrew Younger, Jim Smith and Krista Snow are still trying to make it a realty though ! Fortuntely they don't have as many lives as a cat, there's a municiple elction in October 2008.

:roll: Even though this thread IS 3 years old, it's still valid.........unfortunately. Lots of talk and not much action when it comes to pet protection.....same as kids eh!:angry3:
A friend of ours had to quit the humane society, as she was coming home crying every night. Killing of dogs, cats, and rabbits finally got to her.

Hey Nugg how's it goin ya handsome devil!?
I'd hope that parents would SMARTEN UP! Just because toilet paper manufacturers use cute little kittens to sell arsewipe and "happiness" is a "warm puppy" there's got to be more intervention and prevention in parents giving their children pets that become too much of a burden and then are abandoned. Take the money being spent on useless and wasteful nonsense like the Mulroney/Shreiber bafflegab and to after the puppy mills and the cat suppliers who contribute to the problem.

I predict that stray pets will not be a problem this time next year. In light of that you should order my book-------Cooking Domestic Pets-----sandwich goldfish and canarys, pot roast kitty, retriever la orange, shepard pie, hamster pot pie all your favourite post depression dishes.

Why are cats more important than wildlife?
My girlfriend has a cat, and I like the little bugger. But she stays indoors, where cats belong. I'm a birder, I love having a birdfeeder and watching all the wildlife enjoy the yard. So why do cats owned by other people have a right to live and indiscriminately kill birds that visit my feeder? I'm at the point of just using a BB gun, since more humane measures have failed. Why is it ok for cat owners to let their cats roam around wherever they choose, leaving the burden of making my yard cat-proof to me? No other pet is granted this privilege, especially not one that is such a natural cold-blooded killer.
CAT LOVERS ARE NOT ANIMAL LOVERS, if they were, they wouldn't let their cats kill every small mammal, bird, and reptile they find. This double standard is ridiculous, and only because they are "cute" compared to other animals that we have no qualms controlling. I think loose cats should be fair game within reason, as long as any other varmint is allowed to be shot on site in the same manner.

Put cats on a leash like dogs are, if you dont think thats humane then dont get a cat.... Housecats dont belong in the boreal forest of Canada, they only screw it up...
If you have a problem with a cat coming into your yard and killing song birds and there nests use a big mouse trap

I hear they taste just like chicken. And their hides make good slipper liners.
If its been eating songbirds and meow mix then yea probably tastes pretty good
ill give the pelt to a trapper to sell, that way everyone is winning
hehe We saw that in a movie one time, probably a Disney flick.
We get those kitties around here, but they don't bother people much, only cats n dogs.
From what I could/could not find out, it's not legal anywhere in the US, but authorities in Wisconsin are considering making it legal to stalk and kill feral cats because they are growing in number and causing problems for communities. It is a horrible idea, and those who like it probably pulled wings off flys as children.
God day Ironside, If they allow such atrocity to take place because they do not have the correct method in stopping the cats from reproducing especially in North America, that would be sooooooooooooo barbaric and counter to the popular belief for the preservation of life.
"It is a horrible idea, and those who like it probably pulled wings off flys as children"
So you are calling me cruel, just because I think about other animals besides pets? What hypocrisy. So you'd rather just say "F*** you" to all the meadowlarks, quail, and other ground nesting birds whose populations are being devastated, because cats are cute.
This is the problem with lovey dovey cat owners. Somehow the cat has been granted high status.
I repeat, cat lovers are not animal lovers. This is the core of this issue. Biology is never cute and cuddly when it comes to making hard decisions. But If you think fluffy is somehow a more noble animal that deserves protection granted to no comparable wild creatures (even when living wild), than you are a sick hypocrite.

Good day Socrates, That would be so right, so easy to get a animal fixed these days.
Why don't we also trap, neuter, and release other problem animals, like coyotes, or skunks? I know those animals never get the same courtesy when they are picked up by animal control.
To kill a cat in an effort to solve the problem is absurd and sooooooooooooooo intolerable. Following this short sided mindset lets kill all the wolfs, foxs, cougars, bears, who come close to society. To kill one to save the other when in fact both were put here for a reason, is like telling nature to go and f her self and we do it the vigilantly way any animal that gets in the way lets reduce it in numbers and only allow man with the small mine set take over and move in the animal habitat and claim that land to be man’s land taken from the animals....... That is demented my forum friend and some ones priorities are bent or broken.
