When I scoff at "companion" cat I think of this.
A quick piercing bite to the cranium, as taught to me by my Uncle Eagle...
Attachment 232884
I have a lot of town neighbours on my farmlet so we have a lot of town cats.
As long as they stay off my lawn ( like Clint Eastwood says ) and dont harrass my dogs they are pretty safe . But the ones who decide to live down my driveway or try to get in my shed are deemed feral and removed . And the lawn-crossers give the dogs exercise too so not all bad.
As above, Id go for kill traps if catching pets is not likely. If it is then cage traps and take them somewhere that shooting them is not going to be a problem I guess is the solution.Quote:

This is the 7.5Kg of pissed offedness that had the neighbour's mates wolfhound backing up and hiding behind his dad - bloody embarrassing as the boss was trying to apologise and ask how my cat was at the same time I'm apologising for the blood streaming off his dog's face and the dog (all of 90Kg) is trying to climb into dad's arms! The bloody cat was rubbing around my feet meowing at me like it was feeding time. Thanks dick, super embarrassing... This cat is a weapon, he's stood off three shepherds at the same time without a care - the confused look on the dog's faces when they strike a cat that doesn't behave like a cat should is a crack up.Quote:

When it can be arsed to get off the bed that is! Does a good job of keeping the ferals out of our patch too. Would prefer to not have the guts full of 100mm long tapeworms getting vomited onto the carpet though.
sounds like the cat we had...totally zero fuks givenQuote:

I shot 40 the first winter here and a friend nearer the forest shot sixty. Last dogs treed cat tally was 114. Dont let big dogs take on cats, they will loose an eye. Standard Foxys and Jacks sort them
Please tell me his name is Horse. Sounds awesomeQuote:

No. Disclaimer - I was not responsible for this but his name is Bruce. Short for Bruce Wayne as the Lithuanian girl who named him thought he looked like batman as a kitten or some BS. It did sound better in Lithuanian but I'm buggered if I can remember how to pronounce it!Quote:

Different levels of empathy I see
Well that answers that question. Drowning= no. I guess gassing with carbon nonoxide is a no as well?
I also wonder how they determine drowning to be cruel.Quote:

Drowning is illegal so it is out. Even humane shooting causes protest. Apparently some persons, having humanely euthanised the cat take it down the road in the dark and arrange its appearance on the road so that it looks to be a case of death by car
Wonder what is an acceptable an humane spca approved method then?
Drug overdose I think (but I don't know for sure).
Shooting.Quote:

Sounds charming.
https://www.npr.org/2020/09/21/79317...thal-injection "...[causes] pulmonary edema, which can induce the feeling of suffocation or drowning."
....hmmmmmmmmm
https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/executi...hed-executions
"a violent physical reaction to the drugs (heaving chest, gasping, choking, back arching off the gurney, etc."
"Two minutes after the drugs were dispensed, the muscles in his jaw, neck, and abdomen began to react spasmodically for approximately 45 seconds. Parks continued to gasp and violently gag until death came, some eleven minutes after "
"violent convulsions. His head and chest jerked rapidly upward as far as the gurney restraints would allow, and then he fell quickly down upon the gurney. His body convulsed back and forth like this repeatedly. … He suffered a violent and agonizing death"
etc, etc.
Safe and effective and so kind.
I think those examples were for the alternative drugs used in the US after the drug companies who produced effective lethal injection drugs withdrew their consent for their use in capital punishment.
