Larry How would you propose to 'Trap' a cat in your garden without hurting it or distressing it in any way? Badger snips ........ There are cage-type traps available for animals of cat size. Provided the trap contained food and water and/or the trapped animal was not left inside for a long period, I do not believe cruelty would occur, although the animal would possibly be distressed. Incidentally, if the animal is a stray, it would seem that it can be shot. There was a case recently where somebody who had done this was prosecuted for cruelty and found not guilty. Of course, the risk is that it is difficult to tell if an animal is a stray until you have checked it for tags, etc. In my suburban garden, shooting would not be an option anyway and I would personally not wish to kill a cat anyway - I would sooner hand it to somebody to euthanase with drugs. -- Larry Stoter |
