I have no problem with someone shooting "STRAY CATS" that are not collared & are out killing wild game. I have seen many cats kill young rabbits & line them up to be left to rot, they are NOT hunting for food but sport. Was this in the city limits or in the country?? I feel the same about dog's as well.. I know a guy who was having problems with dogs running deer in his timber & reported them to the local DNR Officer who said if they didn't have collars or tags to shoot them.. he ended up killing them & the owner tried to have him arrested for it saying he shot his pets. When he shot them they were not wearing tags, but when the DNR arrived they were. Well, the "pet" owner thought he had the guy in hot water until he supplied them with cam traker photos of the dogs w/o collars.. The guy was removing their collars when he let them out to run. If you ask me, these weren't "pets" but targets!! It's Illegal in the state of Illinois to knowingly let your dogs run deer. I personaly couldn't shoot a cat or dog.. But know someone who will for me!! NOT.. LOL
