I know of many people who have no qualms about taking out a wild cat while out hunting. In rural areas noone takes the time or the money to neuter cats. They either drown them as babies or shoot them later. Thats just the way it is. Same with dogs, if they wont stay around on the farm where they belong they are shot.

If I hear that the hunter's dog went into somebody else's property or went into public property, I'll simply introdice the dog to my favorite rifle. Instant Karma!

:( Poor kitties. If someone has an outside animal, they need to have them protected and spayed!

And yet, we don't crack down on industry! Check this out, from Environment Canada.
A Chronic But Mostly Hidden Problem
Chronic oil pollution coming from ships traveling off Canada's coasts causes the death of hundreds of thousands of seabirds every year. An estimated 300,000 birds are killed every year off of Newfoundland's coast, and at least equivalent numbers may be dying annually on the Pacific coast, because of this illegal pollution.
Marine waters off of Canada's coasts are some of the most important places for seabirds in the world. There are tens of millions of seabirds in Canada's marine waters at all times of the year. They are attracted there by the abundant food sources and ideal breeding conditions. About 15 species of seabirds are common on the east coast and about 11 species are common on the west coast.
All of the species present on both coasts are migratory species some of which travel great distances each year from the southern oceans or across the northern oceans. As well there are occasional visitors which are rare species from other oceans of the world.
Most of the seabirds off the east coast live in waters that are criss-crossed by the busiest shipping lanes in North America largely due to the ship traffic with Europe, as well as fishing vessels at work in Canada's abundant fishing grounds. Unfortunately the owners, captains and crews of some of these ships knowingly allow the dumping of oily ship wastes into the ocean where they harm the seabirds and other marine animals.
Oil does not mix with water, but it is readily absorbed into birds' feathers. When that happens it decreases the birds' insulation from the cold, as well as their waterproofing and buoyancy. This inevitably leads to their death by hypothermia or starvation. Just one spot of oil can do this, and therefore an oiled bird becomes a dead bird.
On the east coast, and particularly in Newfoundland, a small percentage of the dying or dead oiled birds wash ashore. Therefore people have been aware of the problem there for many years. On the west coast this is still a hidden and practically unknown problem. Because of the wind, tide and ocean currents, most birds that become oiled from the vessels' wastes sink at sea long before they can wash ashore.
Ironic, isn't it?

I like the attitude that if you shoot it, you gotta eat it!
Yes, where is the BrummyCyat?
