Reece Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Pigeon pete does a great job of giving anti shooters even more ammunition for their propaganda. I have problems with cats but I stick to legal methods and deterrents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reece Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 funnily enough it's the magpies round here that seem to do the most damage to the local bird population While I agree that magpies and crows do a lot of damage, they are wild animals, and they are part of a "natural" predator-prey relationship. Obviously it's not completely natural, as we have not had a self sustaining ecosystem over here for thousands of years, but cats are a bigger threat as they are sustained by humans and live at massively unnatural densities. Not denying that magpies and crows are pests. By all means do something to control them, but cats are worse because they do not rely on their prey for their food. do you guys really think i am serous .ive had cats my self ,lol dont you all know when its time to have a giggle ,guys life is to short ,and as for anti i dont give a fly ********* about antis ,ive had death threats and they said they hope my kids die of cancer for eating meat ,so i dont care about antis Just making sure.

Fisherman Mike Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I used to have a lot of trouble with cats in the garden mainly after my canaries and finches which are in an outside aviary. I called on all my neigbours and very politely told them that their cats were fair game for my dogs if I caught them in the garden. I got the wife a Ford SportKa and now we dont seem to have too much trouble. http://uk.video.search.yahoo.com/video/play;_ylt=A2KLqIrTHD1QmGIA5yN2BQx.;_ylu=X3oDMTBrc3VyamVwBHNlYwNzcgRzbGsDdmlkBHZ0aWQD?p=cat+and+sunroof&vid=C785E600A052FB1A1D148B89CCB88A4F2164F519&l=00%3A39&turl=http%3A%2F%2Fts1.mm.bing.net%2Fvideos%2Fthumbnail.aspx%3Fq%3D4920074678042796%26id%3De80782bf8ae61f300475131708ac7e6f%26bid%3DGfVkIU%252bKuMyJiw%26bn%3DLargeThumb%26url%3Dhttp%253a%252f%252fwww.myspace.com%252fvideo%252fvid%252f7543486&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fvids.myspace.com%2Findex.cfm%3Ffuseaction%3Dvids.individual%26VideoID%3D7543486&tit=Trunk+Monkey+001&c=19&sigr=12crj8ima&fr=yfp-t-702 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
-Mongrel- Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 (edited) do you guys really think i am serous... Doesn't really matter Pete, we may take it as tongue in cheek but, once you put it in writing on a public board then it's in the public domain and therfore prime to be quoted by LACS or similar. Might want to consider that before posting. Edited August 28, 2012 by -Mongrel- Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gamekeeper1960 Posted August 28, 2012 Author Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Hi Zapp, just a thought could you not just remove the coments that could offend rather than shuting down the whole thread. Dave, . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zapp Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I already have removed comments from this thread, and posted two reminders not to go there. There are certain subjects which always go the same way, and this is one of them. As long as people keep it sensible then there is no reason why it cant stay up (just like anything else). The problem is that these threads always get dragged down and we dont have the time to monitor them constantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
derbyduck Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Iv'e read somewere about a colar fitted with a bib that stops the cat from opening its mouth far enough so it carn't grab hold of the birds ! not a muzle like we see on dogs ,justs a piece of plastic that fits under its chin it can still drink and eat and lick its *** after its done a jobby on your garden !!!

Diceman Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 I have seen this 55 Million birds killed figure, and and a few other numbers, many times now and have never found a genuine source to some real reasearch proving it. Can anyone help? We have 5 cats roaming our place and I cannot recall the last time any of them caught a bird, although they are fantastic at keeping the rodents down. We feed the songbirds daily and have a thriving population of at least 10 species (don't ask me to name them, I am lost after robin, bluetit and house martin.(or are they swallows?)) I put it down to the fact that birds have wings and cats don't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bloke Posted August 28, 2012 Report Share Posted August 28, 2012 Here we go what again ? is this what forum are for ? as far I'm concerned cats are the biggest threat to smal/medium sizedl wildlife that we have in this country so the Question I'm asking is I think a valid one,As far as cats go Im not against people having cats just that no one take resposibllity for them, and I dont think that right, you may have other views and I would be glad to hear them ! , all I'm saying is if we all kept mink and just decided to let them roam were they liked there would be hell to pay ! so is there a difference ? Dave. Thanks for your comments and no personal insult meant, but the subject of cats comes up with monotonous regularity and usually ending up with the "Shoot them/destroy them/ban them all" people versus the "I love cats"people - with the " Hey, we shoot birds, cats catch/kill birds, what's the difference" people in the middle, and almost invariably gets closed because it gets too insulting/offensive. There are cat people and anti cat people, it seems that is the way it is, rationality seldom enters the argument. If you really want my views, I am a comitted responsible cat owner, three of my cats are not allowed out, partly because Maine Coons are too valuable to let wander at will, partly the darn things are so stupid they would try and play with the cars and tractors in the lane! The last one is so old now, she can't get over the fence. In the past, I have paid for my neighbours to have the ultrasonic cat deterrents in their gardens, which worked well, and beyond that it is all fields. I don't put bells on my cats, as a friend's cat was accidentally strangled by the collar, after getting it stuck in a bush - a muzzle would pose the same risk. As far as the local wild bird population is concerned, I think the cats have killed maybe half a dozen over the years, the wilds birds have lightning reflexes to avoid the sparrowhawks around here, I have seen three birds taken by the hawk in the last couple of months. I have more problems with one of my neighbour's dogs chasing the wild pheasants and blackbirds, and killing my lawn by ******* all over it, than by any problem done by my cat. The old cat uses a corner of my garden, and it is only two minutes work when I am cutting the grass, to pick it up on a spade and chuck it in the bin.
