Ah, one of the simple pleasures of living in the South. Reminds me of
the time the wife and I watched our ****ed-off neighbor, .357 in hand,
go after a bunch of cats raiding his trash barrel.

I don't think he got any of them, but damn, was it funny watching
those cats come zooming out of that barrel as if shot by a catapult
and the neighbor blasting away at his trash barrel like "Dirty Harry."


You'all good 'ole southern boys sho' do like to use them guns.
What do you do when the kids act up?
Put a little rock salt in the old 12 gauge and tell them to git runnin'?



Hey....there was a farmer in my neighborhood who did exactly that when he
caught kids stealing a few ears of corn. And this was in Long Island in the
mid 1960s. Not exactly Arkansas.

The first Southern statement to creep into a transplanted
Northerner's vocabulary is the adjective "big'ol" truck or
"big'ol" boy. Most Northerners begin their Southern-influenced
dialect this way. All of them are in denial about it

And don't forget "Haaaail....that there car's got itself a real strong
motor!"

Very limited number of hunting licenses issued for moose in Nova Scotia.
Used to be around 1000 under a lottery system.
My theory still is...if they don't shoot at me...I don't shoot at them.



Actually moose kill a few people in Alaska, probably Canada also. They are
tall enough that if a car hits them, they slide across the hood and come in
the windshield, and they take out the motorist that hit them. Maybe 2 for 1
if there is a passenger.

That is a big problem in our sister province of Newfoundland. Not so much
here as the moose are usually
in remoter areas of Cape Breton.

You make me sick...hope karma comes right back at cha you heart peice

The traps work surprisingly well. I have trapped approximately 20 cats in
the last 2 months using a live trap. I have several really nice cars that I
was tired of the damned feral ******* cats climbing on when I'd leave my
garages doors open. Not to mention the shredding of the garbage bags
awaiting collection.
Once you have them trapped, they are yours to do with what you will.
A word of advice, if you just haul them off somewhere, go AT LEAST 10 miles
away, and cross a couple of bodies of water if you can. Otherwise the
*******s will damned near beat you back home!

I've also broke out my old recurve bow and gone "hunting". Nice and silent,
and provides a relatively quick kill (though a stuck cat certainly YOWLS a
lot!). I'd avoid poisons and firearms in any sort of municipal area, too
much chance for things to go wrong.

Here we go again. A couple years ago some low-lifes sent the 5 lb. furry
vermin to my clam boat to use it as a litter box. Never got a good aim at
the cat.

Now, I have a trawler with Polish storm windows (AKA rigid pvc drop
curtains) around the stern area, and a neighbor's DAMN CAT still gets

inside

for the same purpose.

I need your advice. What type of anitfreeze is it that smells and tastes
good to animals, but offs 'em in a few hours? Does De-Con work? Rat

traps?

Have a friend that lived in Anchorage, AK and he is the one that told me of
the problems. Here we just hit small deer and they ruin the front of the
vehicle.

Don,
Yah, except for them deer that are out to commit suicide in front of
your car. Heck I know more people that have bagged deer with their vehicle
than during hunting. I don't hunt myself, but I still wish the hunters luck
with thinning out the herd.

===============================

You don't have to tell them.

My wife donates to the SPCA with instructions on the check NOT to be
used for cats......wonder if they follow those instructions.

I'd contact your local SPCA, borrow a live trap and turn the cat over to
them.
You may cruely kill an innocent cat that could be attracted by the
anti-freeze.



Agreed. A HavAHart trap will do the trick. Cats don't deserve the antifreeze
routine. That's for dogs.

I certainly hope they don't waste their time trying to segregate funds based
on each donor's prejudices. But, I don't care. There's no way to change
peoples' minds with regard to cats & dogs. The animals are quite capable of
subverting the minds of their owners to the point where they ignore the
damage and aggravation caused by the creatures. As we know from Darwin,
there's a place for such owners, as well as a place for gardeners like me
who make the pets vanish when appropriate. We are the lions of the suburbs,
so to speak.
