I like cats, I just have a problem with irresponsible cat owners. I
like the below solution. You know, just by picking up the daily paper
that there are alot of sick people and out right viscious people in
this world. The point is that if you are an animal owner you should
make it a point to be conciderate to your community and take steps to
assure that your cuddly little furry ball of love is not a menancing
varment with sharp point teeth and claws to your neighbors. Pet ownship
is a huge responsible. As for whether or not I would really hurt a cat,
I would rather have you ask yourself that question and take steps to
protect your bundle of joy, which at the same time protects my property
then tell you it's ok to allow your animal to go on a rampage. I hope
you all are getting my point. I really don't think a common ground can
be reached here, it's kind of like that smoking cigarettes issue.
