HarmOKnee Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 They cause serious injury to animals like birds. If a cat kills a mother bird, all the chicks die so in effect who whole family has been wiped out, We have a dwindling number of birds, and for cats to kill in order to survive is nonsence It's sad but they are just following their instincts.

medusa Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 I'm not sure where the comparison is being made here. Dogs aren't put to sleep for killing small animals, so why should cats be? If a dog kills a cat or another small animal the police will just tell you that the dog hasn't broken any law. There's a world of difference between killing a person and killing another animal and the laws of murder don't cover sparrows or rats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ampersand Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 When was the last time that a cat caused serious injury to a person? I don't recall. I fell down the stairs a couple of months ago to avoid standing on one of mine - dislocated my knee as a result - does that count? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewBiz Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Why does a dog get killed if it bites someone, and a cat doesn't have to face the consequences of its action? Cats have no need to kill, they are fed, have a home, are warm and with this in mind, if they kill willy nilly are behaving like Colonel Gadaffi. NO place in society This is a joke right?

Cyclone Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 It's long-established in UK law that dogs are controlled by their owners but cats are free spirits which just happen to eat/sleep with us and do their own thing without us being able to control their actions. When somebody works out how to train cats the way we train dogs, and dissuade them from climbing trees, maybe the suggestion would work. Except when somebody chases them off, or a dog attacks them, or somebody hurts them. Then they're property and the owner wants compensation.

Cyclone Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Why does a dog get killed if it bites someone, and a cat doesn't have to face the consequences of its action? I'll point out again that you're comparison is nonsense. Dogs are not killed if they bite a cat, or a rabbit. And a cat that attacked humans would be killed the same as a dog.

NewBiz Posted November 7, 2011 Share Posted November 7, 2011 Actually most dogs will get away with one bite at a human, providing it isn't really serious. Oddly though they would be put down if caught worrying sheep. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
