Should people in Wisconsin be permitted to hunt down and kill free-roaming cats? Residents of the state are voting on that very scary question. The advisory results will then go to Wisconsin's Natural Resources Board. From the Associated Press:
La Crosse firefighter Mark Smith, 48, helped spearhead the cat-hunting proposal. He wants Wisconsin to declare free-roaming wild cats an unprotected species, just like skunks or gophers. Anyone with a small-game license could shoot the cats at will....
Critics of Smith's idea organized Wisconsin Cat-Action Team and developed a Web site - http://www.dontshootthecat.com. Some argue it is better to trap wild cats, spay or neuter them, before releasing them.
