Cat attacks villagers.....isn't put down

[estebanrey]

Ive read on here that people use anti freeze to get rid of the car problem, about as ethical as using a sticky trap but effective.

Anti-freeze should be used for car problems but sadly I feel yo meant to say cat.

Dunno how people can advise poisoning another sentient creature so easily, as if it's the same as taking out the trash or changing the bed sheets.

"Yeah just put out some milk with antifreeze in it, don't worry about the fact it has owners that probably regard it as one of the family, forget there maybe small children it lives with who will be distraught to find out it's died at the hands of the next door neighbour; what's important here is you".

Makes me sick to be honest. I know quite a few people like to make sick jokes in cat threads and I do tend to suck them up and remember they're only joking, but when people start trying to "advise" in the best ways of murdering a cat and then try and play it off as a joke, it does annoy me.

Besides, I think the cat hating crew need to realise that pet owners in general are attached to their pets in ways you couldn't understand, killing their pet would be not far off different to killing a member of their family and by deliberating killing someone else's cat you are not only in danger of a visit by the police but also a visit from the owners (better hope you are bigger than them in that case).

If someone poisoned my cat, I'd get them and do the same to them. Wouldn't care doing time for it either.

I hear the fishfinger sandwiches in prison are awesome.

Haha I find it kinda funny.

Not sure you can treat it in the same way you would an aggressive dog though. Dont think Ive read many stories of cats killing toddlers .

I'd happily eat them if I'd poisoned a cat poisoner.

Same here. If someone deliberately killed my cat, I would be hard pushed to not kill them.

I totally echo what you say estebanrey: Makes me sick when people suggest ways of killing someone else's pet.

When cats want to they can do some serious damage.

One of our cats attacked my dad once, just out of the blue no idea why she did it. The damage she did though wasn't pretty, really deep cuts in his hand and arm.

I know a dog could do more damage but any animal causing a nuisance / threat to the public should be controlled one way or the other.

Knowing exactly how long cat claws can be the cuts can't if been that deep

Infact probably scratches rather than cuts

Living in a household that rescued beaten up cats I've been clawed far too many times by angry cats that hate humans. Still alive. No scars

A guy at one of the places I used to work at had a neighbour's cat always digging up his garden, crapping everywhere, etc. He just used a cage with food in it to trap the cat and that was the end of the story.

Well the story also includes a hammer, but I'll leave it at that...!

so out of curiosity should vets who destroy dogs on court order be murdered brutally by the dogs owners?


Just checking that you think this is 100% acceptable

If your cat attacked me in the street, I wouldn't hesitate to kick it in the face.

Come at me bro.

This is the thing though, cats don't go around "attacking people", their first instinct is to run away from humans.

Most people who claim to have been 'attacked' by cats were actually trying to pet them after approaching the cat. I've seen plenty of cats that don't like their personal space being invaded and so lash out (there's one that lives down our street) but I've yet to meet one that would actually run after you.

You'll also find most cats that don't like humans have good reason to, they've been abused by them (as is the story with the cat in our road mentioned above).

"oh he's a big softy who wouldn't hurt anybody"

See what you've done there is take two situations with completely different contexts but share the same ultimate outcome and pretended they are the same thing.

Next you'll be claiming abortion doctors are morally no different to Ian Huntley.

"oh he's a big softy who wouldn't hurt anybody"

A line most used by big dog owners.

actually no i've taken two situations that are the same.

Dog attacks person is poisoned


cat attacks person is poisoned


Your situation would be more abortion doctors and the morning after pill.

A line most used by big dog owners.

indeed, that was my point.

however that line is used shortly before their animal is destroyed,.

in this case you've gone "cats do not attack people no, clearly persons fault. despite lots of evidence to the contrary.

just like the jackass saying it's ok his dog bit you because he's normally a softie.

In this case cat attacked someone, cat should be destroyed.

doesn't matter to the severity of the injury same as it doesn't matter with dogs.

 

[mehuk]

I don't really see what gives a human the right to decide that a 'dog' or any other animal should be put down, just because it attacks a human.

Same planet for all of us.. we kill for fun, food... because we feel like it... we kill each other for the sake of it half the time, yet how many humans are put down for killing another human?

 

[BunnyKillBot]

Oh please list this 'lots of evidence', do go on.

 

[Totality]

Cat, Muslim and relationship threads. The way to incite arguments on OCUK!

 

[estebanrey]

actually no i've taken two situations that are the same.

Dog attacks person is poisoned


cat attacks person is poisoned

Right so you think someone taking it upon themselves to poison a cat who can physically be no more than annoyance to them with dog who has actually injured someone and is physically capable of over powering a human being put down under controlled conditions by mandate of a court are the same?

If you really need me to explain further how those two things aren't the same I worry for you.

indeed, that was my point.

however that line is used shortly before their animal is destroyed,.

in this case you've gone "cats do not attack people no, clearly persons fault. despite lots of evidence to the contrary.

I never said "cats do not attack people" I said 'I've never seen a cat go out of its way to attack someone'.

Seriously have you ever seen a cat run after someone with the intent of injuring them? I haven't but I've seen plenty of dogs do it.

As i said, 99.99999% of people who get scratched by a cat do so because they have chosen to invade that cat's space, not they were just walking down the road minding their own business and a cat jumps out and starts attacking them for no reason.

In this case cat attacked someone, cat should be destroyed.

doesn't matter to the severity of the injury same as it doesn't matter with dogs.

Firstly, let me say I think the details of the story are being a bit sensationalised, I don't believe for one minute this is an animal on a one cat mission to wipe out humans.

Secondly, you don't understand the law if you think it says "all animals that attack humans, must be put down" it doesn't work like that. There are contextual issues that are taken into account.

You can't compare a cat that has scratched a couple of people with a fighting dog breed that weighs more than a small child who has attacked someone and say it's the same.

Come at me bro.

Are you for serious? Not that you're ever going to get attacked by a cat, however, would you really need to kick it in the face? It's a cat! Or are you just saying this to put across some sort of hard persona?
