silentrunner2011 218 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 law states, if its on ur own land nothing can be done, if thay were so concerned about there moggys thay would keep them in.... same as cats killing mice. its nature im affraid. i looked into it when my dog retrived one to me :-) if u were slippin the dog on them for fun then u can be done, but if ur dogs off the lead and gets one well thats tough shit on the cat. but if ur dog goes into there garden and screws it then ud b in shit as u should have "control" over ur dog...if my bullx wants a cat theres nothing id do to stop him....i cudnt call my dog back when hes decided hes chasing it.

Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 I believe that if its in a public place, on neutral ground (playing fields, park, the street, someone elses garden etc) then you are in the wrong. Your dog should not be out of control in a public place. If the cat comes into your garden or somewhere you have permission to be and the dog kills it then there is nothing that can be done about it. If your dog is on the lead and grabs it then im not sure - this almost happened to me the other day, cheeky cat the other side of a wall hissing at my dog, my dog grabbed at it and got a mouthful of fur. I hate the vile things. They should have to be kept indoors or walked on a lead Gaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Gaz_1989 9,539 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 if ur dogs off the lead and gets one well thats tough shit on the cat Are you saying that its ok for your dog to be off the lead and kill a cat in the street? Cheers Gaz Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Cheers Gaz come on Gaz you know these threads always bring out the macho men.( they will be queueing up to contribute to this one) it could be some kids pet FFS. Control of feral cats is a totally different subject from the responses these threads normaly provoke. Yours in sport Pernod Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I was questioning if thats what he meant - because thats how it reads... Quote Link to post Share on other sites

alimac 882 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 how do you determine a feral cat thats on your land? For me it would be one with out a collar, along with a bit of time spent speaking to folk that live on the said permission.. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

scothunter 12,609 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Do what you like! I'm no cat expert, but I reckon after a few days I'd know which was feral and which was someone's pet. If its causing you trouble, deal with it, if not ignore the bloody thing 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
scothunter 12,609 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 When you say " your land" do you mean permission? Seen a few lads who get permission, and then decide it belongs to them, and everything must die that dares to venture on it. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
R.A.W 1,987 Posted October 19, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 i just want to do things inside the law and thought someone on here would know thats all. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
undisputed 1,664 Posted October 19, 2012 Report Share Posted October 19, 2012 Wouldn't it be easier or better just to break your dog to cats, that way there's no issue with the law. If you allow it to kill cats on your ground the dog's not going make a difference when your not. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
