Oh and of course it'll almost certainly try to escape for quite a while after being caught, until it reaches the point of exhaustion. What about rain or heavy dew, animal will can't keep warm and dies of hypothermia... Seems to me a death by strangulation within minutes of getting snared is far better. It's also an insurance against assassinating Miss Povey's Prize Persian - thobut I wouldn't fancy the job of releasing it...... It's a cat, tough. Why is a valuable cat being allowed to wander freely? For the same reason owners allow their dogs crap on pavements and in children's sand pits? -- Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit; Wisdom is not putting it in a fruit salad |
