[News] Croydon cat killer suspected of killing 450!

[Horses Arse]

I like cats but i do think there are too many and they cause a lot of damage to wildlife. I live in Woodingdean and would like to see semi rural areas like it to be cat free, restricting them to more urban areas. I am not advocating some cat killing spree just a rethink on ownership which would be introduced over time.

There's too many of everything. Cars certainly, people too. Cats are pretty low down on the list

Utter bollocks.
You'd struggle to fin a serial killer who didn't at sometime kick a football around the playground with his mates.



Well ............................ YOU might.

That might just be the most pathetic load of old bollocks ever spouted on this site. Some achievement! Wow!!

 

[Horses Arse]

I don't think anyone is accusing you of killing cats or Jehova's witnesses for that matter.

Although he's raising a few suspicions through his bizarre behaviour.

Cruelty to animals is literally one third of the Macdonald triad, which is widely regarded as a key indicator of potential serial violent offences.

Obviously GT49er on NSC knows better though.

There are parts of SE England (Ashdown Forest, Surrey Heaths) where new housing is restricted or 'buffer zones' created to prevent predation and disturbance of protected species by domestic pets.

Personally, I love cats and miss the one we had until he died during lockdown but now make do with petting next door's (too fat to chase anything) and watching cute cat videos on Instagram. There are more birds in our garden as a result.

So you defend attacking them?

Pity Tony Blair didn't bomb you.

Calm down, it’s only a one liner.

 

[wellquickwoody]

In some places.

It's starting to become more common for tighter restrictions and in some places outright banning the vermin from being owned in some newer estates.

Australia's new 24-hour 'cat curfew' will ban pets from going outside

Research recently found as many as three million mammals, two million reptiles and one million marsupials are dying every day in Australia from feral and pet cat attacks.

OK to own rats though!

The irony of a human being waving a gun around and whinging that cats are a menace

Not to mention the irony of a non indigenous Australian moaning about a cat killing off species.

In the past 19 years, I’ve had seven cats (bringing 3 with me) and have 3 now. In all that time, there has been 1 dead robin, and two dead mice, between the whole lot of them. Magpies kill more small birds than cats.
I get birds in my garden because I have a beech hedge, and the birds love flitting in and out of it. My cats sit and watch them through the window.
Concreting over gardens, and removing trees/shrubs does more to harm wildlife than cats.

We keep our Ziggy indoors, as have F1 drivers near us, so quite a few animals have been killed.

Love you too xxxx

I am. It's why I shoot them on sight.

And in this one post you serve to demonstrate the psychopathic* tendencies that Swanny has alluded to previously.

Anybody who revels in and enjoys the killing of any being has clearly got more than one screw loose. I'm sure we are all grateful that you are a long way away. Long may it stay that way.

Gorgeous cat, the watch is alright too.

Someone should start a thread on fake grass and farming to feed our meat habit. They're well above cats, cats are rubbish in comparison - need to step up and stop lounging around.

Perhaps a league table of environment damaging issues and we could knock them off one by one.

1. Waste plastic - pollutes and kills wildlife.


Edit, a lot of feral cats could be dealt with by neutering, although in Britain we do have a native Wild Cat in Scotland. All of mine are neutered.

We have the makings of a James O'Brien Venn diagram.

Angry/spiteful cat haters, also pop up as angry on various other threads where they lack empathy for their fellow man eg peoples out of luck.

Thank fck they're the minority in a decent society.

Difficult to solve by shooting though

Sounds like some contributors on here probably have the video of Kurt Zouma kicking a cat saved in their favourites!! And no doubt cheer the cat kicker whenever they see him play!!

Anyway ... here's our lovely ball of fluff who we sadly lost end of last year aged 14 ...

Cats and their owners are an easy target for bullies and psychos though.

As we see in this thread. Aptly put.

To be fair it's only the regular two who seem to be disproportionately angry about lots of things in their lives. I really can't imagine why
