I expect they will be banning bows 'n arrows soon in the UK

I'm shocked to discover they're still legal. Or is it exclusive to Scotland?

Well, they were SORT of legal the last time I was over there- NO broadheads of course, and you had to have a licensed facility to shoot your bow because of potential harm to other's, and I am sure there were more restrictions- We watched an archery tourney on the fields below Dunster castle, on the riverbank- all the traditional archers in period garb using longbows.

I have an indoor cat. So the end result would have probably been the demise of the archer. If he/she came into my house with a bow or a crossbow, we'd hopefully be able to change the "don't bring a knife to a gun fight" to fit the new situation with the proper caution.

Cats are tough though. We cleared out a horde of feral cats from a farm years back. The farm was abandoned for about 7 years and those cats just kept breeding and multiplying. They must have had an ample food source because they all looked fairly healthy. They weren't too afraid of us either and they were some of the more vicious cats I even ran into.

A 12ga worked fairly well; we didn't have all that much luck with .22cal rifles. One of the guys used his Mini-14 and got good results.

I'd like to pop the sob who did that in his head with my 30.06 and watch it explode in a shower of pink mist. He's probably a McCain voter anyway.

Uh. I thought it was in the UK.

I'm sure you would. You sound like a stone cold bad ass.

Do you even know what a .30-06 is?

Someone explain this - if YOUR cat is on SOMEONE ELSE'S land, messing with their livestock and wildlife, not to mention kids - how can you complain if someone disposes of it? That's SOP in rural areas - see a dog or cat you don't know on your land, out comes the truck gun.

Don't want "snookem's" shot? Keep it at home.

Some of you guys must be beset by much more dangerous cats than I have ever met. The few nuisance felines in my neck of the woods never come back after I throw a glass of water on them. Meanwhile my neighbor has only a flimsy, short fence between my 4-year-old and his 3 Pit/Boxer mixes. Cats don't worry me at all.

"Cats don't worry me at all. "

The Kat Killing thread cheesy

IBTL.

I'm gonna pull out my copy of the "Man Eaters of Koumon" and relive my short duty as official feline dispatch officer for the Urban Coop of Homing Pigeons, wherefrom one less ball bearing moustrap emerged under it's own power to warm it's regal coat in the light of day.

The acid sweat...
...natives with machetes.
...knowing the job needed to be finished, or its bloodthirsty spee would continue....

..on it haunches...
ready to pounce...

Nonmortal yet crippling shoulder shots...
...seemingly unscathed by the spire point solids....

Blood curdling roar!!!

Dropped inches from my boots.

As the cop told my granny in 1955 - "Keep yer cats to home."

I'm the "feller" who happens to own a couple of cats who never leave the house, and I can't recall having ever even insinuated anything to the contrary. I could be wrong, so feel free to refresh my memory, thanks.

I'm not in favor of what was done to the cat, but this is just disturbing. I find comments like that strange, even when not totally serious.
