I live in WI and this had become quite the topic of coversation in the past few days. It boils down to cats which irresponsible or non caring owners have tossed out reproducing and surviving like any other animal. Problem is that cats are very efficient hunters and have really damaged natural popluations of game animals in the area. I work nites and do a lot of driving in rural areas, in the summer I'd be willing be bet there is rarely a night I don't see 15-20 cats along the roads. I see way more cats than I do skunks or racoons.
The problem I see in the present law is that a person can be charged with cruelty to animals for shooting a cat, even if it is done in a humane manner. They should be seen as more of a nuisance animal and treated the same. Beleive me, I'm not into shooting your pet, I have dogs and can relate to how one gets attached, but I have to monitor what they do and where they go.
