Not necessary, the psychotic will out themselves over this topic almost immediately. As threads like this have proven to me time and time again. Honestly it's not the cat that brings out the psychotic tendencies, it's the embodiment of rejection that the cat represents. Rejection must be some primal trigger that sets off the psychotic. A cat will fukn ignore you until it's good and goddamn ready to interact with you, it's just how they role. I think people who like cats have made this realization and are ok with it. The psychotic takes this physical embodiment of rejection and manifests it into violent thoughts and reactions. In example lashing out about how much they hate cats and how they kill them with no regard. These are dangerous people and are not to be trusted. The difficult part is recognizing these types so you can distance ones self from them, the cat topic helps in this regard. Quote HistoryQuoted:

The dude in the article is likely fucked up, but not necessarily because he killed a couple cats. I don't get the bleach thing at all and the are more efficient methods than a hockey stick, but killing problem animals is a necessary thing.
What I find equally disturbing is the Disney Brigade here. It's indicative of how fucking far gone we are as a society when we place the lives of feral cats as equals to our own. |

I enjoy coyote hunting too. Don't eat them, either. The carcasses serve as meals for other coyotes and critters, and also help ensure a few more fawns and turkeys will make it through to the following fall, so I can kill them too.

I think feral cats and dogs are more of a nuisance. That doesn't mean a person shouldn't have the ability to dispatch a nuisance animal. It's just that cats and dogs are what society deems as the standard pets and people would rather see the nuisance killed as humanely as possible. Feral cats can be a problem. I wouldn't take much enjoyment in killing them but I would try to do it quick and easy. Besides, there's actual enjoyment in killing a large animal that you can actually eat. |

This topic is a great example of the disconnect that is occurring/has occurred in America. People are separated from the facts of life. Animals are killed everyday, beef comes from cattle, pork comes from pigs, chicken from chickens, etc. Currently a large portion of people see life through rose colored glasses. They either think or pretend that this food just shows up at the store or restaurant. The blood is on somebody else's hands.
One should remember that he killed cats, not people. Those calling for prison time are equating the life of a cat to that of a person. While animated cartoons taught you that cats could talk and behave as people, that is just not the case. Logic, rather than emotion, says that cats are animals. Animals have but one goal in life, propagation of the species. Humans differ in that they seek that which transcends them, they want to know how things work and what their purpose is in life. They have a soul which provides the basis for human morality and their transcendent nature. This man had a nuisance animal problem in his house and took care of it with the tools at hand. If it had been a couple mice that had gotten in, nobody would care at all. But since some project their feelings towards pets on to these stray cats, it becomes emotional. They feel bad, so it should be wrong for everyone; instead of just minding their own business, they try to regulate everyone elses. For those that advocate prison time for killing cats, it is but one small logic step to do the same for killing cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, fish, etc. PETA would be very happy, especially seeing this on a firearms forum. |

How about drowning them? I've used the five gallon bucket traps with pretty good success at our hunting cabin. Is drowning considered torture? It's recommended by some DNR offices, but IMO it's a cruel death if not outright torture. At least whatever dies by drowning is the only thing that dies, and is safe to eat if a predator((in this case, scavenger) of any sort finds the body. |

I dunno about some alleged moral equivalency, but like I said before, if the guy has spent some time and effort taking care of his home, he might not be all jammed-up right now. Yeah, I guess it is easier to dodge the sticky issue by throwing up inky whack jobs as the poster boy for everyone that kills animals. |

After having seen secondary poisoning of a non-target species I for one am against poisoning of rodents. Found a great horned owl that was not acting right, thought it was injured. Got a DNR officer who was willing to come get it by the following morning, it started acting drunk and died. Suspected cause(I never heard if they necropsied it) was poisoned prey. ETA-if you want to kill rodents there's nothing wrong with spring traps, except for having to wash hands a bit more afterwards. Quote HistoryQuoted:

Perhaps the man might not be up on charges if he had maintained his home in such a way that the cats could not enter. If cats can get in, who knows what other critters were invading his home?

I'll bet he wishes he had done a little more upkeep on his home, instead of being in the fix he's in. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: This topic is a great example of the disconnect that is occurring/has occurred in America. People are separated from the facts of life. Animals are killed everyday, beef comes from cattle, pork comes from pigs, chicken from chickens, etc. Currently a large portion of people see life through rose colored glasses. They either think or pretend that this food just shows up at the store or restaurant. The blood is on somebody else's hands. One should remember that he killed cats, not people. Those calling for prison time are equating the life of a cat to that of a person. While animated cartoons taught you that cats could talk and behave as people, that is just not the case. Logic, rather than emotion, says that cats are animals. Animals have but one goal in life, propagation of the species. Humans differ in that they seek that which transcends them, they want to know how things work and what their purpose is in life. They have a soul which provides the basis for human morality and their transcendent nature. This man had a nuisance animal problem in his house and took care of it with the tools at hand. If it had been a couple mice that had gotten in, nobody would care at all. But since some project their feelings towards pets on to these stray cats, it becomes emotional. They feel bad, so it should be wrong for everyone; instead of just minding their own business, they try to regulate everyone elses. For those that advocate prison time for killing cats, it is but one small logic step to do the same for killing cattle, pigs, chickens, turkeys, fish, etc. PETA would be very happy, especially seeing this on a firearms forum. It's not the killing, it's the manner in which they were killed. It is not acceptable to spray an animal with bleach then beat it to death with a hockey stick |

It's only going to get worse with more and more raccoons being poisoned with fly bait. Mot all farmers who do it dispose of them, and some of the ones left out get eaten. Haven't heard of secondary poisoning from it yet, but unless it's one of the few that loses its toxicity I'm sure it's coming. I know IA DNR has been asking for tips about people using it though. Back to the guy in the OP-if a hockey stick was the only "club" he had, fine, but why spray them with bleach? Sounds like he wanted to torture, not just kill. |
