Your nom de net is well chosen. Poison is a filthy way to express your
'exasperation' with an animal.
Judging by the antisocial attitude of some cat owners who post on this
group it doesn't come as any surprise to me that the only resort left
to those who are fed up with uncontrolled stray "pets" is poisoning.
I've never once seen an antisocial attitude by cat owners and I've been
here about 10 years.
I have. But I am not going to support the poisoning of cats out of
mere exasperation.

As in anti-social, I'm thinking of people who actively encourage their
cats to use other peoples' gardens as loos or otherwise make a nuisance
of themselves. Cats by their nature, roam. While I do think that for
the sake of the bird population, I would restrict the number of cats
it's 'sensible' to own, the thought of poisoning an animal because it's
a nuisance is appalling.
We have a dog nearby that has barked non-stop during daylight hours for several
years. I have seriously considered strangling it or it's selfish owner with my
bare hands.

Our cats have all been too lazy to use the neighbours' gardens.
I don't know what the laws are in Holland but here Environmental Health
will get involved with that kind of nuisance. In a previous house I
had a dotty neighbour who used to shut her dogs out at around 4am so
that they'd bark to get in and thus annoy all her neighbours in a
smallish part of the village. And - total non sequitur, there's a hot
air balloon heading this way - wonderful sight!
