I currently have a cat sitting half on the back of my neck, half on the back of the couch.

Interesting reading, @Flyblown my original statement came from some research I did many years back when we had a problem cat shitting around our property and I was trying to figure out my rights. Looks like as you have found a lot of documents have disappeared and may have not been as legally strong as they seemed.
Anyway, we got a dog who hates cats. That stopped the problem for me.
I took a look at the Facebook group set up by the cat's owner.
Oh dear.
If this is truly where our society is going with social media, we're going to be staring at the other side of the U-bend pretty soon.
Not only is the alleged shooter named, there's been several nasty threats made against him. From what I can tell, numerous other comments naming him, posting his address and threats of violence against him have been removed in a vain attempt to keep the group reasonably above board. But there's still heaps there. Since when have ordinary people felt emboldened to make such threats publicly, under their own name (and photo)?! How nuts is that?! This old fella is in a world of bother now, that's for sure.
There's been a few posters on the thread telling the cat's owner (Geoff) to take it down or at least make it private, as it's all pretty appalling.
I've got a better understanding of why Predator Free NZ 2050 didn't go down the feral cat route now, and decided to keep that particular problem under wraps... I don't look at Facebook very often. Kinda wish I hadn't looked at this!
Just...say...the...word
No different from what happens here. People regularly seem to feel "bold" enough to say stuff they would never say face to face... And remember when Hera Cook and other members of GF NZ had their address details exposed here. No different in my view.
People behave like retards online... It is what it is unfortunately.

Its an odd world out there for pest controllers for sure.
Just last week I twice had one of my Pukeko traps pulled apart, damaged, and bits of it stolen to prevent me from using it to catch anything. After the first vandalism I setup a camera, mocked the trap back up again and bingo, within hours caught 2 old ladies with wire cutters trespassing onto my clients property to take my trap apart again because there was a duck in it - They even left me a note calling me a "rotten horrid duck killer" and telling me that SPCA would be there tomorrow to prosecute me.
I choose to only live trap and check all my traps daily to release anything that isn't targeted/permitted, same with cats - I trap first then determine if they are wild or pet before dispatch.
Anyway, footage given to cops, they posted the old ladies photos to facebook and had their contact details within an hour. Will be interesting to see what they are charged with and how much reparation they have to pay me.
Just watched that vid grrr.If i was the cat owner,i wouldve stood in front of thats c...s drivers door and called the cops.F.... tosser.He can try and move my 140kgs if he likes.
Cats can be considered property, which opens up s269 of the crimes act.
yeah I live on the road where people dump cats in my area to "set them free"
my best month I caught 32
all live capture and all looked at very closely before dispatching
I also ask the nabours if they have a cat and what it looks like
its not hard to avoid killing pet cats around residential areas that guy is just a clown.
Its always best to let cats go if you are unsure and there are houses near by, easy enough to trap later in a live capture
whether or not you like cats is inconsequential, that was a shitty move by the shooter not to see a cat and consider if it is someones pet when there are houses around that close
Its in VietNamese, so will be the order number for dogs, not cats
You should’ve seen the back lash that ITM Marton got after the counter cat Rodney (that no bugger could even get near) was dumped out of town by some of the workers. They were getting death threats from overseas, it was a bloody shit show!! Google Rodney the cat and you’ll get 10s of bloody articles pop up. It was Karen’s to the power of 100.
I’m sick to death of the neighbours cats shitting on our lawn and vegie gardens, I like the neighbours, they’re good people. Apart from letting their bloody cats roam. Has anyone got any non violent solutions to the issue that they’ve had success with?
High Voltage the higher the better.
Nah, seriously, Electric fence, small battery powered job connected to low wires, they make a hell of noise when they touch and run off all frazzled/fluffed up.
Bloody hilarious..
