Lady living there was happy to have a few less roaming around. As were all the birds.

Do you really think it's a good idea to put that pic on the internet? Seriously?

Well done. They are a problem. My bride has yet to green light me unleashing my Discovery PCP on them yet.

I'm no fan of feral cats by any means, but there are people in the world who are huge cat fans and might raise a pretty big stink about this....
Me personally, I would take the post/photos down, I'd hate to see some kind of legal trouble come your way because of it. Honestly just trying to help.

I was a little taken-aback by the pics at first too. But, with a little more time to consider it, I absolutely think shooting feral cats needs to be more mainstream. Feral cats kill more songbirds and game birds than anything else on the planet.

I had a black one walk by my stands on one of my leases in Central WI every time I was thee. I had it on just about every trail cam. I would not waste and arrow/broadhead on one but would use my .22 cal discovery on it. We have a few around the house Im itching to remove.

Honestly don't know. I'm not too familiar with the new law that went into affect "The Preventing Animal Cruelty and Torture Act, or PACT Act". All I'm saying is I personally wouldn't post about it because I've known crazy cat people who would go crazy about something like this.

From your link:

That law is focused on 'crush' videos. Nothing to do about legal varmint hunting.

Yes, I am OK with the pictures and the act of shooting feral cats. Good grief.
Can't even say what lion hunters do with them. mtmuley

Here in Phoenix they are ridiculous. I know several Guys that trap them and relocate to other parts of town or whatever! People make me sick that just let there cats go roaming in the Cities. Just deposit of them and don't post it every where I say...............BOB!
I have friend who has cats running around their barn yard, unfixed, looking nasty and diseased, yet will send me a fisher on a trail cam pic and says “Do I need kill this?” Nah man you need to shoot that cat sitting in your barn with eyes full of goop and with its ears mostly froze off. Sorry I had to rant, I seriously hate outdoor cats. All of them.

One of my fondest memories was hunting feral cats in the willows on my friends ranch... a couple 9yo with single shot open sight 22s. Good times...

I do not have a problem with shooting them. I would not. I do have a problem with posting the picture on the internet. Just my opinion.

The only good cat out of a house is a dead cat. As mentioned above they are incredibly destructive and, similar to the feral horse problem, killing them is really the only answer. In Denver there is a huge colony. They have wiped out native fauna from entire sections and are horrendous disease carriers/spreaders. Too bad when logic gets overrun by nonsense.
