I'll take a truck load of cat shit over replacing the wiring in trucks and tractors.

One of the things I like here is that the coyotes patrol town after dark. Kitty doesn't do real well in such a situation - and I don't have cat poop in my gardens.

Yeah... the yote population in MA is pretty insane. I'd say 80% of the times I go in the woods I see one... I've seen them downtown/ a ton on the beach etc.

I've easily seen more cumulatively in the last 2 years than in the previous 15 living in CO/MT.

We have 'yotes all around us. If they get within 300 yds or so, that's where they stay until the turkey vultures get them.

I'll take coyotes over feral cats any day.

Mice and rats eat wires and hoses. Cat's eat mice. Yotes eat cats. I shoot yotes and buzzards eat yotes and crap all over my truck. The circle of life.

IDK, sounds like good clean fun to me. They should have stuck to their guns.

The feral cats on most farms in this region, including the farm I am on need to be purged of the hierarchy of the gene pool, except for the most experienced mousers! I am currently on that purge now as the inbreeding causes illness . One winter I took down every cat on the farm, they were all sick! I took down the meanest , ugliest , biggest tomcat last week you ever saw!

I grew up on a farm we had livestock and crops. It was a cycle of too many rats or too many cats.

Yep, we left cats alone in farmyards or near grain sites. If they ventured out trying to hunt game birds they were labeled “ditch tigers” and they didn’t live long.

They are a huge pest in Australia and they kill the crap outta them.

Need an m60 for all those ditch tigers.

Yes, I agree. Was a massive uproar and the organizers didn't want the grief. But we see a few cats while hunting and they definitely need to be controlled.
