How many black robins are still alive being spoon fed for seventy yrs etc. Cats do a wonderful job in our society. Loneliness is a sign of a sick society. I have been where you are and one day you will be where I am.

Any idea of why they canned it Happy Jack? It came up on my Farcebook feed, and I commented cos I think its a bloody good thing for a whole lot of reasons, dead cats is only a small part of those reasons. I was at the point I was gonna enter myself and some of the grandkids, simply to give Rotheram School some more funds. And to flick the bird at all the anti's out there. Had no intention of actually going cos Im a bit busy at present.

According to the news article on the box tonight, some demented idiot had threatened to burn down the school if it went ahead.

Make sure your cat is inside on the hunt days. If you can't do that, then it's not a domestic cat, it's feral. Put a collar on it, make for easy identification that it's some ones. .

Exactly this

From what I have heard it was pressure.Fish and Game were interviewed on the local radio this morning and they came out in favour of the idea.

A big problem is that alot of cat owners dont put collars on their pets !

I would love to see a law made that ALL pet cats must wear a collar. That way we could get stuck into the rest of them

AND Registered, Kept under control at all times and on owners property, inside at night.

If its good enough for dog owners then its good enough for cat owners (and i like cats).

Heard it was canned also on the 5am radio news,nothing to stop the lads have a private comp and leave those fukin media out!

So......its not ok for us to teach our kids and grankids how to look after yourself in the outdoors, shoot a rifle, and do some legitimate pest control. But.......its ok to threaten to burn a school down. Worlds gone to shit, in a basket!

As Gower stated, all feral cats need to be eradicated. I would go further and say all cats found a reasonable distance from housing areas need eradicating. When doing any of my weekly circuits hunting goats, cats are certainly on the hit list. Local DOC attitude seems to be shoot them but don’t advertise the fact. Even local residents seem to have the same attitude, even ones that own cats. Acquaintance who used to do pest monitoring in hills bordering Blenheim reckons domestic cats used to feature prominently in traps. Was told by council not to advertise the fact. The little shits certainly roam a fair distance.

In the immortal words of Rodney Rude, oooh I hate Cats

Well mate…its become international…..the yanks were running their lips about it this am on all the local and National stations……standard trifle…Ill leave it at that….

Distance,iv watched the odd wild cat thru thermal at night.They can cover a k or 2 in no time,let alone all night hunting.

Its also on the BBC in England this morning.

The way I read it, if you bring in a chipped cat you are DQ'd from the competition.
Didn't say anything about collars.
But I think it would be a bit nasty to knowingly shoot someone's pet. And that's coming from someone who doesn't like cats.

Thats a crazy. How in hell do you know if a cats micro chipped or not. In my view if you bring in a micro chipped cat, that was shot in area that it shouldn't have been, espially during a cat shooting event that's been publicly announced then you should have your cat ownership rights revoked as you obviously don't care that much about your cat and have no idea of just where your cat is. Feral with a chip. In that instance you can identify the owner.
I don't think the collar comment was serious but definitely don't take collar off, it could be the extra few grams that nets you the heaviest cat prize.

My mates at my local pub are calling me …..”the kiwi cat killer”
