A Call to Arms - Cats Pass Disease to Wildlife
 

In case you've not heard of this yet:

Cats Pass Disease To Wildlife, Even In Remote Areas

You can't just use them just for target practice anymore, like all hunters do where I live, and then leave them there. Keep a folding camp-shovel handy or something, or transport the carcass safely sealed in a trash-bag to where they can then be disposed of properly. You need to bury them to prevent any wildlife from eating the carcass. If a wild animal eats an infected cat carcass it will die from it, as will anything that feeds on the one that died, and so-on and so-on.

Just as, or even more importantly -- permanently get rid of any strays you find in your yards and gardens. A cat just defecating on your property can be a death-sentence to your family members and your own animals. Wear gloves when transporting and disposing of the carcass -- by incineration or burying it deeply enough so no other wildlife or humans can come in contact with it again.

Thought you might like to know.

Please tell others.

And for those of you who think destroying an invasive species, like cats, that are now responsible for wiping out whole portions of the natural food-chain should not be discussed in a hunting forum ... GROW A SPINE FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIVES. You're just as much to blame for the problem we face today.

Back several years ago our county formed a "dog catcher" position. Lots of people didn't like it at first, but it is very unusual to ride around the county and see a loose dog or cat.

Why TNR (trap, neuter, release) and Cat Advocates Even Exist ...

Toxoplasmosis: Behavioral changes
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Toxopla...vioral_changes

It has been found that Toxoplasma gondii parasite is capable of changing the brains of whatever organism it infests. In mice, they lose the fear of cats and are even attracted to cat-urine. Making the asexual portion of the Toxoplasma gondii life-cycle faster to complete in order to replicate more quickly into its sexual reproduction phase in all host cats. This loss of fear and apprehension manifesting itself in humans in a similar manner, even when common-sense tells them they should depend on that sense of fear or doubt for their own survival.

Here are other ways that this parasite have been known to alter the thinking patterns of humans: http://wildlifeprofessional.org/blog/?p=3929

I strongly suspect that it might even be responsible for all cat-lovers' wholly contradictory behavior of putting cats, all other animals, and even all humans in harm's-way through their adamant insistence of promoting TNR programs, just to ensure the survival and spread of more Toxoplasma gondii parasites throughout the food-chain and in more humans. They are, in effect, being controlled against all reason and common-sense by the very parasite that is reproducing in their cats.

The stuff that sci-fi used to be made of come to reality. Real-life "pod-people". They can't think nor reason beyond the need of ensuring the survival and proliferation of Toxoplasma gondii. It won't let them.

Get tested for T. gondii if you are defending cats' lives. You're actually obeying parasites in your brain. You no longer think and reason like a human, ignoring all common-sense.
