I did. My question is: Why are they not included in the

Scared of losing votes?

Why is it legal to poison rats with rat poison, but
not
cats? Surely if
it
is a humane way to dispatch rats, it is a humane
way to
kill cats.


Both vermin.


I know you think you're very funny, Mike but telling
someone that is a nasty
thing to do. It's untrue that cats are vermin

Cats are vectors for more than one disease which afflict
humans. They actually ought to be classified as vermin.

More diseases are caught from other people than from a
particular animal.
Perhaps you should be classed as vermin?

If you don't like my attitude and my stance, don't cross me. You won't
win.

I'm not interested in joining the debate about cats, but I strongly
believe that the statement above is just plain wrong at best. It would
not be possible to raise a successful action against someone who
called cats vermin in a newsgroup.

Indeed. I feel, though, that pointing out that deliberately hurting or
killing other people's pets is wrong was a worthwhile thing to do.

The archive could otherwise give the impression that the group is of one
mind, because no-one protested.

Protesting about something you believe is wrong is a good thing, even if
she did get a bit carried away.

I also believe that deliberately hurting or killing other people's pets is
wrong. I would not do it myself, regardless of the provocation and I would
step in if I saw someone else planning to do it.

So far, though, I don't think anyone who is an identifiable poster (rather
than an anonymous and unreliable troll) has actually said they are planning
to do this?

There's no reason they should even be annoying.
If they crawl around leaving bad-smelling shit in your cornfalkes. I'd call
that annoying.

Only if you have half the urg posters in your kill file, several
people have protested, including me.

Franz is neither a troll nor an unidentifiable poster and he implied
that he was planning to do this.
