Nasty things which should be [and are] shot on sight.
Thirty five years ago I arrived home on a motorcycle fully dressed for a Melbourne Winter, intercepted one of several ferals which had been surrounding our aviary, I won that blue but was winded [and pissed on] at completion, the bastard bit through a Belstaff jacket and a woolly jumper and a flannelette shirt to lightly puncture my forearm.
I saw the true nature of the cat and it was unpleasant to say the least.

It would be a good idea, could actually be funded by people who let their cats run free. Shoot a cat with a micro chip and the owner gets fined.

:lol: :lol: yes PM3010 could work but micro chips aren't cheap so how do you reckon shoot the cat with a bullet then take the ears in for payment easier take a pic and send it to the council for payment that's how I get paid for some of my dogs by sending a pic to the station owner :thumbsup: :drinks:

l reckon if a bounty was put on feral cats a few that are left out at night might go missing as well like some dogs that went missing in areas that a bounty was put on dogs, that will teach the owners to lock em up :thumbsup:

New story on crap news.com..
Suspected cheetah on the loose in London reported to be a savannah cat...look at the size of the bloody thing. I'm so glad they banned them in Australia.

On the other hand that cat looks like it would make a lovely hat or coat

Bounty should be 5 bucks per kilo, not per head.
