I don't find the sentiments of cat haters wanting cats killed any different than snake haters wanting snakes killed.

I hate feral animals.
- If I saw a Burmese Python in the everglades, I would run it over with my car. They don't belong. The fact that they are snakes doesn't change anything. If I could do it without damaging my vehicle, feral pigs and ungulates would suffer the same demise.
- I think Brian or any landowner should be able to kill (humanely) any feral animals on their property, whether they are preying on native species or not. They shouldn't need a permit or license to do so, unless their method presents possible dangers to other species (guns, traps, poisons, etc).
- Nothing pisses me off more than hearing people talk about protecting feral populations of animals. I think they should use the fabled feral "mustangs" of the American West for military target practice until we have eliminated them. Same goes for the Wild Ponies of the Chincoteague off the coast of Virginia. Grind them up and feed them to zoo animals.
- It ought to a felony to deliberately release any feral animal, whether you have spayed it or not. If you catch them, euthanize them. It is cheaper than spaying anyway.

OK, off my soapbox for now.
