so how much trouble am I in?

First off, I love cats and have grown up with them. Now that I am married and have kids I have no pets. My grandparents have a farm out in the country that gets overrun with cats. At times there can get to be 20-30 cats around the farm in different hiding areas. They can get loud and obnoxious at night just like raccoons and even worse. My grandma used to pay us $1 for every cat that we killed. I didn't have the stomach to do it but my cousins would come back to the house and have plenty of arcade money the next day. People would constantly drop cats off at the farm and the problem got worse and worse so please don't go dropping cats off in the country.

I think you should make your kid pay the $100 since the cruelty is his fault.
 
Man I wish I could get paid to shoot cats. Heck if I could get paid to shoot cats Id pay the fine. Four pages I knew we could do it and only slight thread veer.
 
This is addressed to certain people in this thread:

Do you know how many graves I've dug because of people with the mindset of "Take it out to the country and let them deal with it"? Do you know how many starving or grievously wounded animals I've had to put out of their misery? Do you? All because some idiot thought the animal could fend for itself in the wild...I've been digging those graves since I was 12.

Throwing a domesticated animal out in the country doesn't do it any good. It'll either die a miserable slow death or go feral (dogs get in packs and are a great danger, for example).

Throwing 'em out in the country might let some sleep easy at night. All I know is that it sure as hell has caused some nightmares for me. The only comfort I have is I have always finished it quick as possible.
 
trap the stray animal, and haul it to the country.
i know that does not help you now, but it might in the future.

D*** city folk!!! That's what started this whole problem.

I've lived in my current house for less than two years. In that time we've had 7 different stray cats show up. We're both cat lovers. So we allowed 2 to take up with us. Caught and gave away 2 kittens. The rest went to the local shelter.

If the city folk can't keep their pets, at least be responsible for them. Either put them down yourself, or take them (or even call them to come to you) to the shelter.

Feral cats are responsible for the degredation of quail and rabbit populations. And feral dogs reek havoc on turkey populations. And when packed up, dogs can kill deer, domestic animals and people.

Next time, get a humane trap, bait it with a can of tuna, and remove the critter to a remote location.

To clarify, I was not implying release in the remote location ... I was pointing out that some locations, being more remote, are more suitable to gunshots or whatever humane method of dispatch you choose.

that would be the quary, the lake, the barn at papaw's, or the wood shed....
 
Two more and we got 5 pages cause some poor fellow pulled a poor shot on a cat. Next time mountainpharm use a 444 a center mass will do fine. By the way what did happen to the cat?
 
its possible it was a momma cat. if so there could be a litter of kittens waiting for her to come home. if they are near your home you should know in a week or two unless winter arrives early, in which case it could be springtime before the wind blows the answer your way.
 
I would have put on spongebob on tv for the kid, and gone out. If he hears the gunshot, tell him a car backfired while running over that annoying cat, that was scaring babies and chasing the easter bunny.
