"Hunting", again

[stoutfellow]

I find this story extremely disturbing. Open season on cats?

Addendum: Checking the article in the Wisconsin paper, I find the proposal a little less distressing, but still repugnant. If it were Hawaii, or Guam, or some other fragile ecosystem in which cats were truly an invasive species, I could live with it, but in Wisconsin - or Minnesota, or North South Dakota - I can't say I like it.

I guess I should rephrase my ire. What upsets me is the fact that so many people seem to see no other way to deal with predation than killing the predator. As hornedhopper mentioned, there are other ways of handling it - not least, that of not blowing up the problem.

(I acknowledge, of course, that feral cats - and feral dogs - present a problem.)
