Environment Cats & dogs & lazy owners

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

Many native species of Australia evolved over millions of years without any major predators, then suddenly over the last 200 years they have been forced to adapt to introduced species, not exactly fair is it.

So where's the thread about foxes, or the crown of thorns starfish, or rabbits etc etc? I'd suggest feral introduced species have more of an impact on native species than little Bootsy and Soxy who might roam the streets a couple of hours here and there.

Life isn't fair. You don't hear the animals complaining though.

If your dog did that to any of my cats i would come over to your place and start kicking your dog. I hate dog owners who feel it's the right thing to do for their dog to attack and kill.

Dogs shit me. It's no wonder ******s own them. Cats take more time and patience..you just dont leave a cat in the backyard tied up and chuck food at it like a lot of owners do with dogs.

I hate cat owners who permit them to roam & kill whatever they feel like & also don't care about them enough to keep them safe.

 

[JockStewart]

So we should keep them locked up inside shall we?

How about i lock you up for the rest of your life inside a small room..eh?

I hate dog owners who have them for the purpose of maiming or the excuse of protecting their homes. i hate dog owners who just leave their dogs to fend for themselves in the backyard who then bark and bark becasue they are lonely..so the owner comes outside yells at it and then kicks it.I hate dog owners who take their dog for a walk see it shit on the footpath or someones lawn and just ignore it.

I can make a thread if you like, because i hate foxes, rabbits etc equally as much as cats.
But the difference is, foxes are not domesticated pets that are meant to be cared for by their owners. Cat owners should be trying to reduce the affect their pets have on other creatures.
I am a dog owner, and we try our best to ensure our dog doesn't get his jaws on anything other than the many rabbits that roam our area.
But thankfully, our dog doesn't possess the ability to climb trees and kill birds as they sleep.

I haven't suggested cats should be locked up permanently, but they should defiantly not be allowed out after dark.
Cats should wear proper collars with a bell attached (i know cat owners who refuse to do this).
Cats should be treated the same as dogs are. If a dog is seen roaming the streets its shock horror, yet a cat roaming the streets is common and considered okay.

 

[JockStewart]

Because the reasons are covered here. Dogs don't normally wander..and only do if they are losts..cats do.

I also think dogs should have their barks cut out..nothing is worst than 2 dogs barking all night..while the owner does **** all.

Just because its in the animal's nature to do something, doesn't mean we should have to put up with it. Cats should not be allowed to roam the streets when and wherever they please. They are a hazard to both wildlife and traffic.
Have you tried talking to the owner and asked them to fix the issue of the dog barking?

 

[JockStewart]

No they are not. Cats are doing what cats were designed to do.

If you care so much about the friggen wild life then go and do something about it..go join greenpeace and eat only lentils as anything you eat or wear that wasn't prepared by an extremist vegan will have been made with some kind of animal by product.

Do you know what answer you get?

"**** off i know about it"

"Nah"

"We have tried everything but nothing works..i am sorry"

Maybe give your dog some TLC?

If you did that, I would beat you about the head with a cricket bat, because just like your dead cat, you are trespassing on MY property.

Neither the council, in the case of the dog killing the cat, or the police for me hitting you to protect my dog, would punish me, because you were both in the wrong. Deal with it.

I keep my dog under control & not a nuisance to others, suggest you do the same with your cat. If all pet owners were more responsible, then there wouldn't be any problems.

 

[JockStewart]

You are a feral old idiot Sandy..disgusting and old i was told. And you have no qualms in acting like one over your stupid dog.

No point arguing with someone as ignorant as you is there?
So anyone that shows some interest in protecting Australia's wildlife is an extremist greeny ey?
You must enjoy watching your cat prey on defenseless animals then too?
Well if the owners are reluctant to do anything, go to a higher authority.

OOH major meltdown there, sucks for you that I am legally in the right & you are breaking the law.

 

[JockStewart]

No because I would then take your poor feral old arse to court and sue you for assault.

The thign is, you're making out as if pets are blood thirsty murderers that leave nothing but a trail of death and destruction in their paths, and it's simply not the case. Sure a cat might knock off a run of the mill bird once in a blue moon, but that's about the extent of it, it's also sure as **** not some endangered native species.

What I do find ironic is, you heartilly encourage and train your own pet to go out and kill animals, as if they wont then do the same thing to other animals.

ACA and TT hypochondria at it's best.

Turn it up

A bit hard for you to do, when you are in jail for trespassing & assaulting my dog.

 

[JockStewart]

Where do you get off thinking the law is going to protect you after you assault someone you feral bogan!

 

[mantis]

Because you are trespassing & assaulting my dog, which the cops will arrest your sorry arse for.

You need to get a clue about the law kid.

Uncle owns 2 dogs and I've never seen them set foot inside unless there is a storm, and they are two of the best dogs I've ever met only one of them barks and that is when he is playing Fetch. It isn't about if the dog is allowed inside or not it is about the owner and how they brought the dog up, if you make sure you're dominant in your relationship with your dog you should have no problems with its behaviour and if you do then it is entirely your fault.

 

[PHX]

My cat has no where near the ability to kill birds even if it didn't have a bell on it's collar, the dud. And the dog manages to kill more mice than the cat. But the cat is a winner because it's not a suck up like the dog. It knows what it wants and it won't sacrifice itself to achieve it. Always been a cat person, always will be.

The Border Collie cross dog was not my decision but it's great because since I know it needs exercise it gets me motivated to go for a run so it gets the exercise it needs and wants and has prevented me from being a fat slob. That's it's only real need for mine. It's constant want for attention and approval shits me.

Hello.

Too often (every day) I see cats wandering around the streets. Do their owners not care about the tremendous damage cats have done and continue to do to native animals? Or do they think their cat somehow exists outside of reality?

Onto dogs. I don't think I've ever met an 'outside dog' (dogs that aren't let in the house) that wasn't basically ****ed in the head as a result. And they're the ones inclined to bark up a storm over trivial shit that wouldn't matter if their owners didn't make them stay outside for **** knows what reasons.

In summary, if you fit into the above categories of pet owners, when your current cat/dog dies do Australia a favour and don't bother getting a new one.

What kind of puppy did you skin when you were little?

 

[Clay Davis]

You are a feral old idiot Sandy..disgusting and old i was told. And you have no qualms in acting like one over your stupid dog.

She's a bogan that was too bogan even for Perth, surprisingly enough.

Just throw some poison meat over her fence.

 

[j0rdy1]

What exactly has Mantis done? She just stated that don't get upset if your cat wanders into her backyard and gets hurt/killed by her dog, which mind you is a predator of the cat. She never said she trained her dog to kill cats its just in their natural instincts seeing as they did evolve from wolfs who kill pretty much anything they can get their teeth into.

If you own a cat and are happy to let it roam around surburbia you better know that it isn't the alpha predator in its environment and if it gets caught by a dog it is in for a bad time.

 

[IAMJUNGLEMUFFIN]

So it's agreed, OP is shit, let's lock this puppy.

You're shit.
