ace5 1 Posted November 15, 2008 Report Share Posted November 15, 2008 dont know if this helps but i found it on the net Unprotected Wild Animals The following wild animals are designated unprotected. No closed season, bag limit, size limit or possession limit applies to these animals: • Opossum, skunk and weasel. • Starlings, English sparrows, coturnix quail and chukar partridge. • Any other wild animal that is not a Game Animal, Game Bird, Game Fish, Fur-bearing Animal, Protected Wild Animal, or Endangered or Threatened Species. By defining feral, free-roaming cats as unprotected, it would become legal to hunt them year round, with no bag limit. "Feral, free-roaming cats" would be defined as: any domestic type cat which is not under the owner's direct control, or whose owner has not placed a collar on such cat showing it to be their property. This means that any cat that is outside unattended, with no collar, could be hunted. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I think that is either canadian, or australian... Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bountyman_90 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 So when you're responsible for a pair of kiddies going out searching frantically for their mog, or a little old dear waiting by the catflap every night waiting for their mogwee to come back, I hope it sits well with the fact that youd set out to shoot ferals. And feral cats CAN be tamed, if young enough. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
dogman89 0 Posted December 2, 2008 Report Share Posted December 2, 2008 you can kill anything and get away with it, as long as you dont get caught Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macberran 2 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I have three farm/...feral cats that never are in contact in the physical sense, with any off the family. However they do more too maintain vermin levels around the farm and feed stuffs than I can. Needless too say they're invaluable. If one came too any harm because of M.O.P.s dogs through lack off control...my biggest problem. There would be a fall out off biblical proportions. Most people I come across who sport on cats can't catch rreal game and so loose there dogs on easy targets...amazing the amount off men scared ( I hate them!!) off cats, makes me laugh...untill we fall out.

karl_20 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 hi mate not sure if anyone has given you a decent answer but i have just been on the basc web site and feral cats are listed as vermin and can be controlled all year round, as the law for running dogs on them im not sure, www.basc.org.uk and search for shooting seasons cheers karl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macberran 2 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 Thanks Karl, I was already aware off this I do think in the main that it refers too city ferals which are around certain areas a pest. I do lose good ratters frequently, to " sorry didn't know it was yours" type off retort, fair enough but we're the only place for far and wide but with a public FP through it. I'm not defending ferals BUT that in some peoples eyes that makes all cats ,working as well, fair targets. And people think open land...open lead with no consideration for property. You point to my cats in the hedge and tell me if its feral or not !. As for the legality on hunting with dogs we all know that one, remember the demo's, do you really think that it is an ambiguose point and could benefit the cause too have the unjust law overturned. Any way in court you say you thought your dog was hunting what ..a feral cat and I'll say prove it but what I could see was it was after my sheep and I shouted warnings though the gentlemans dog was obviously OUT OFF CONTROL it was after my sheep..were do we go from there apart from a new dog.

karl_20 0 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 to me a feral cat is classed as a cat which is not wearing a collar, same is if a dog was to be loose without a collar it would be caught and taken to the pound, and if you have reason to beleive that a cat on your land is a threat to you in any wayand if it is not wearing a collar then i see no reason why this animal shouldn't be stopped. cheers karl Quote Link to post Share on other sites
macberran 2 Posted December 3, 2008 Report Share Posted December 3, 2008 I'll bear that advice in mind with dogs Quote Link to post Share on other sites
