1. Done :) Hope it helped...

I never let my doxies out of my sight in the yard! We have lots of birds of prey in our area, all protected by laws too.

2. Thanks!

I've tried to think of some humane solutions for her, but my initial reaction was pretty hostile. I've done wildlife rehab, and it's just inconceivable to me that anyone on the left would shoot such a magnificent animal like that. I understand being concerned about one's pets, but there are always alternatives.

5. You were much nicer than I was.....

...your responses were wonderful. I tend to get too emotional with stupid pet owners. I never leave my pets unsupervised. Even when they're in the yard, I watch them like I would my human toddlers.

6. Heck, I walk my cat

on a leash! It's simply too dangerous to let them outside otherwise. FIV is everywhere in my neighborhood, along with bad drivers.

3. I weighed in too.

I had to edit my post as I too was hostile. I'm sorry, but shooting an owl is not lack of options for shit's sakes. It's lack of compassion. :mad:

4. I added my 2 cents.

And believe me, it was difficult to remain civil.

7. Maybe if she finds neighborhood kids in her yard

She can shoot them too. :eyes:

I truly believe that housecats are exactly that....HOUSEcats. All you're doing by letting them outside if putting them in unnecessary danger.
