Cat Hunting

Voting on bill:" Update: 4/13/05- This bill was passed in Wisconsin, now going to the next step to make it a Law!! -The Wisconsin Conservation Congress says hunters will be voting on whether stray cats should be designated as prey. Mark Smith, a firefighters and hunter from La Crosse, suggested free-roaming domestic cats be made an unprotected species that could be shot by anyone with a small-game hunting license. His suggestion will be voted on by hunters on April 11. Smith said any cat spotted without a collar should be considered fair game. Cat lovers have spoken out against proposal. "We're opening up a whole can of worms here, where they could be shot by anyone anytime," said Dr. Susan Krebsbach a veterinarian I pray this bill don't pass as we have a cat, he is always getting his collar off. As we have one of those kind that is a quick-release collar on him. Because I worry what if he got caught on something because of his collar, when he goes outside. Well then he is with out a collar if this happens. We usually find it on the ground outside but what happens if he left our yard and this bill was passed. I think is a cruel ideal and only a cat-hater would want this."
