Hells yeah.

Im so fucken glad theres people out there that agree with me. Theres a lot of stray cats that come into my yard every so often and shit on my law. Strays! One 0f my neighbors called peta or something and I got a call from them bcuz I was shooting them off with my .22. In my county it's totally legal, but peta wanted to bitch and moan to me and tie up my phone line just to let me know I was a bad person. fuck them. and fuck those cats for shitting on my law.

[Jorge]

o and hi! I'm Jorge. wazzup.

[Medium Rare]

Not much, shooter. I know cats can kill a lot of animals. I'll try and scare them off first when possible.

Make an account, post some more, have a good one.

ya know, i'm all for getting stray cats off your property, but a .22 isnt the best way to do it if you're inside city limits.  which it sounds like you might be.  a bb gun, or soft air pellet gun would be almost as effective without that bothersome need for disposing of bodies.   if you're not disposing of the bodies, that poses a whole nother problem that needs adressed.

in most cities in this country it's illegal to discharge a firearm unless you are protecting yourself from an attack on your physical person.  a cat shitting on your LAWN doesnt count.  your lawn doesnt have feelings or rights that need protected.  i dont care what hank hill says.  so a .22 was excessive force.  a soft air, a bb gun, or even a paintball gun would've been perfectly sufficient, and not loud enough to raise your neighbors ire.

[McAvoy]

I don't think anyone should shoot at animals unless you are hunting or you are protecting yourself or someone/thing.

[ellie mae]

well, sometimes there's a perfectly acceptable reason to shoot when it's not for hunting or self defense.  for instance, i'd shoot a deer in my garden patch.  they're eating food and other things i intend to use for my family and myself.  if i dont happen to have a deer tag, i guess i'll be trying to get as much info on how to butcher at home, cause i'll be damned if i'll intentionally let good deer meat go to waste.

no i dont consider it "poaching" the deer was on my property, and it was destroying my crops.  something needed done.  i may not have intended to hunt that day, it may not be deer season, but that fucker was tresspassing, a deer can actually seriously injure a person, they can decimate a garden, and goddamnit they're tasty.  time for a crash course in butchery...  i am not a fan of wasting what i kill

[McAvoy]

That's where the defending 'something' comes in.
 
I understand, but if some random cat or animal just strolls in your backyard or frontyard minding it's own buisness, why kill it or injure it? I mean how is shitting on a lawn like Jorge says harming anything?

[ellie mae]

it's not unless you have some really delicate flowers planted there.  like orchids.  and most people use greenhouses for them, because of their delicate nature.

for your average stray cat or dog, a pellet or bb or even paintball gun (in extreme cases) ought to take care of your "tresspassing animal" issues.   hell, even a rubber band gun might work.

[McAvoy]

Well like I said, defending whatever may be precious to you. Cats taking a dump in your glowers and then killing them seems abit extreme to me.
 
Take no mistake, I fish and hunt. In all cases I keep. I just have an aversion of senseless kills. But if you hunt cat because you like cat meat, by all means kills the strays.
 
I mean in the case of cats a water hose works just as well.

[Bazinga!!]

Uhg.... What will yoou do if a dog shits on your lawn??? At least cats are a bit tidy and clean up after themselves. Nerf guns are cheap and nowadays highly effective. I used one to break up an ugly fight between two intact stray male cats. Why not try that?

[Pollock]

If it's legal, then they have no room to speak. Especially since PeTA is known to illegally litter.

And in terms of preference - I'd personally use a Nerf or garden hose unless there is a particular need for the 22, but I don't judge you for doing so. Either way, welcome, register and post more.

[cowgirlTuff]

im a cat person and do not agree with you shooting a cat just becuse its on your lawn.. that to me is cruelity..

[ellie mae]

for the dogs yer definately gonna need something stronger than the rubber band gun.  the hose wont work for my dogs when they fight, but my dogs are exceptional assholes.  it would probally work for a random dog being a shitting jerk.    nerf never occoured to me, but thats probally because it never worked for redirecting my childs behavior, why would a dog or cat listen?

if you like cat meat and live in the middle of nowhere, then by all means, shoot them, trap them, wear lil bikinis made of their pelts...  but if you're in the usa, and you're in the city limits, you are probally breaking a law about discharging a firearm in city limits.  police and other law enforcement guys get touchy about that sort of thing.

[McAvoy]

I used to have this hardcore nerf-like gun that shot out bean bags. That will scare the dogs away.

[Dirtnap]

I can't say I approve of shooting a potential child's pet, there are non lethal methods.
