Remember Johnny Carson and Sophia Loren ?

(muhahaha :D)

Anyway, no sense going after snakes in your back yards with bloody 44's loaded with a bullet?
Sometimes they bounce and carry on untill they hit something.....

because they kill a few rodents.

And this makes em better than cats?   cats are killing machines.   they don't bother you at all... there are no venemous cats and cats (unlike dogs) will not attack people.  

If there are too many cats in an area they are easy to shoot.

The really good thing about cats... and angus will appreciate this...

When you have cats you don't have snakes... first they kill all the small snakes in the area... it is fun to watch... then, they kill all the food for the snakes.  there are no mice left in the area.   Their are also no snakes in the cats area.

cats kill rodents better than snakes...

cats aren't venomous... not a one of em..  worst thing is rabies and that is probly less chance with cats than dogs.

cats don't attack people.

cats kill snakes.

excess cats can be trapped or shot eaisily.

What's not to like?

snake simply need to be extinct along with the goth morons who raise em and play with em.

I have never met a person who was into snakes and spiders who wasn't a total social loser.   Think about it... have you guys ever met a snake person?  frigging whack jobs.

LOL...never mind that cats carry a multitude of diseases, ranging from feline distemper all the way up to bubonic plague, which can directly cross over to humans by way of parasites.  As well, feral cats cannot be controlled no matter what you think you can do.  Ask a little town in florida, Boca Raton, and a school by name of FAU about it.  They've been battling feral cats for 30 years now.  They've tried poison...unsuccessful.  They trapped... unsuccessful.  They even shot....nope.

I, for one, not being a nutjob who keeps snakes, nor particulaly likes them,  would rather have them around.  Most of their parasites and disease cannot transfer to mammals...cuz they are reptiles.

Haven't you been paying attention to current events???  According to some posters on these boards, we have the power to change the climate and ecosystem of an entire planet!  What could possibly make you think we can't handle some cats if we put our minds to it?  If someone is getting over run with feral cats, they haven't been using the correct methods of extermination.:D

Sorry, I left out a 0 on the end of that. 10 snakes against 10 cats. In one year. And it's a 100 sq. ft. area, 10x10. I read the page wrong, the one acre thing was how much they multiplied in one year. And yes, it is illegal to snakes. It is illegal to kill any snakes that are native to the US. And it is easy to tell the difference between a venomous snake and a non venomous species. Venomous species have slit pupils, going up and down. Non venomous species have round pupils. And snakes aren't dirty, anything kept in a cage will smell. If I locked you in a room, without a toilet and a shower, you would stink after some time too. And if you look at what I wrote, people act just like I described them, they are jealous, will punch you for the fun of it, and shoot you for the fun of it (and you sound like one of these people who just like shooting things to watch them die). And yes, cats do attack people. More so than dogs. Cats are tempermental, catch them in a bad mood, they'll try to claw your eyes out. And they kill for no reason. They will kill just to be killing. The only other animal that does that is people. All other animals kill in self defence or for food. And many diseases and parasites can transfer from cats to people. Ask a vet. And no, cats can't be controlled as easily as you think. Many Pacific islands are having problems with cats, but they can't get rid of them cause they breed too fast and they are very good at hiding. The cats are killing the native wildlife, and have caused the extinction of many species. Snakes are a problem on some islands too, but they have been more successfully controlled.

It is not an over-run, but more of a long term presence of feral cats, no matter what is done, they are always there.  Once an organism is introduced, it is very difficult to remove, if it proves able to live in an environment.  It is much easier to eradicate all the species in one area than a particular one.  

It may well be easier to effect a climactic change than eradicating a pest species such as feral cats, that are so well adapted to the niche they occupy.

Since you are having so much trouble with people punching you for the fun of it,..............and the attack cat thingy:), may I suggest that you try the Joe Weider course. Back when I was a kid the adds were in all of the comic books. You should be familiar with that.

Feral cats, ferrets, stoats, rats and possums do the damage in NZ. None of them are native so they are all fair game and plenty of time and money is spent on trying to control their numbers. If not, they would wipe out the native bird life.

A .22 magnum rifle is effective on feral cats, it's not too big and noisy yet it can reach out and tag a cautous moggy. They are voracious killers so I don't have any problems bumping them off when they cross my path.

Dunno about snakes, cause we havn't got any.. not a single one, even in the zoos. It's illegal to import them in to the country.

But we nearly had some "legless lizards" once, a local zoo was going to import them. It almost worked too.

well so much for the assertion that "hispanics have an unexplanable fear of reptiles"  here's a whole anglo-saxon country that exhibits that very fear.

No, I haven't been bullied, and I've only been to the beach once. But I have had guys just walk up to me and try to punch me, which turned out bad for them. All over a woman is the funny thing.... And as for comic books, I've never read one. I prefer to watch the old black and white westerns, as well as the newer color ones. And there are types of legless lizards, they aren't snakes, as most people think, but a type of lizard without legs. They are also known as glass lizards, because when captured their tails break into many peices, thus confusing the predator. But yes, cats are very tempermental, they will often bite you or claw you for no reason what so ever other than you are the nearest living thing.
