There are no companies in this state that would be allowed to come here and poison or shoot the cats. We have strict animal cruelty laws in this state. Any pest control person that attempted that would be arrested and out of business ASAP.
Got to just love how it's taken out of context.
Where in Sam hell did I imply poison or shoot the cats?
No bloody wonder you in the mess your in.
You for yrs have fed these cats.
Let them breed to the point of what it has become.
When your mother and then GF took up the feeding wasn't there any discussion?
No, you just took over the task fed them till they're fat and happy.
(To protect the birds)
Have been a pet owner all my life.
Even when the fat and happy cat is loved, fed.
Outside the prey drive kicks in, kill that feathered creature.
Seriously anything else is just fooling the reflection and throw the justifications at that reflection.
Bylaw 3 cats.
Which you complied with.
It was the feral cat mill you ran out back that you ignored.
So you start trapping, and try to resolve the issue.
Honorable in many ways.
The control officer overstepped the boundaries of what is permitted.
They have traps on the property and the then have a form of responsibility to resolve this issue.
Now you have a date to resolve it.
Where does the neighbors stand on the issue?
I'm probably thinking it's a about time this crap in my gardens went away.
2 dozen cats crapping everywhere I'm sure they have using the neighborhood gardens as a litter box.
When folks complain its not made public.
The complaint is read, investigated, if warranted it's then resolved.
There are lots of errors that could have been avoided.
Playing the victim doesn't work always in court.
The courts see it in a documented in black and white. The y will have everything documented and filed.
Just hope that you have done the same.
Sadly in this world one is often presumed guilty until they prove themselves innocent.
