used to be a long time ago you could shoot stray cats and dogs in the woods provided that the cats were more than one mile from the nearest house and dogs had to be in the act of chasing deer.
today they must be in the act of destroying live stock in order to shoot them.
in the woods there is no waist, possoms rats cyotes wolves coons and various birds will feed upon them.
I agree that there is a better way to handle the problem. and that is to put a law in place where every animal must have a tag placed under its skin for tracking and identifying purpouses in addition only a licensed breeder can perchase cats with out being spaded.
dont get me wrong, I love the little fur balls. I just beleive that owners are not as responcible with their cats as they should be. and in some cases dogs as well.
when I was a youth we had pack dogs travaling our woods carrying all kinds of deseases, there was actualy a bounty on them (not of the natural wild life veriety)
in michigan we even had a 5 dollar bounty on masasaga rattle snakes. now it is a 500 dollar fine to kill one in the woods or feild.
