Today I had 3 large dogs running around in my yard. I chased them off and one went out and stood in the middle of the state route I live beside. He was running in and out of the road while cars were honking and having to stop. The road is covered in snow since we got about 20" in the last few days. I sat there and watched for a while hoping one of the cars would take him out but it didn't happen.
This coupled with the dozens of cats running around here is driving me crazy. The damn cats always knock over the trash cans and string it all over the damn place. I don't know what to do. I've called the dog warden and they told me if the dogs have collars on they won't bother coming out and there is nothing they can do about the cats. I called the humane society and asked if they would do something about the cats and they said no. They have too many as is.
There is one house here I walk by when I take my daughter to the park that has at least 30 cats in the yard and the place smells like pure Elmo. I'm sure there is another 30+ in the house. This house is less than 75 feet away from the elementary school and shares a backyard with the local firehouse. I can't believe this Elmo is allowed continue and no one does anything about it. I have lived here for 7 years and have not seen a single squirrel or chipmunk. I assume this is b/c of the cats.
I kid you not if I wouldn't get in trouble I would start taking them out with my compound bow. I hate fuddernutter animals as it is and I wouldn't feel one bit of remorse killing every fuddernutter one of these damn things. I think I will borrow a few live traps from my father and start trapping the cats. I will then take them somewhere else and drop the bastards off. As for the dogs, I'm going to start catching them, Removing their collars and taking them to the pound. Last year I found 4 litters of kittens in our yard by the garage. Instead of just twisting their necks and throwing them in the trash like I wanted to, I was nice and found homes for them via Craigslist. I will not be doing that this year
This is gonna happen unless someone has a better suggestion.
