Why dogs are better than cats.

Cats used to have a real affinity with the ocean. Well up until fisheries banned then from cray pots.

Nah! Cats are really good for scrubbing your toilet when you toss one in there and hold the lid down.

Trouble is you only get one scrub per cat.

love cats, always have....................never been able to eat a whole one though, they do well on the weber kettle but tie them down first otherwise they make hell of a racket running around inside the lid.

Is that how you cook chooks too?

The whole I hate cats thing is quite, quite weird.

I can understand very clearly the concern for wildlife but to take that out on a species which was introduced by people is not very mature.

I should also attribute hypocrisy to cat haters.
Listen up bogans... humans do the decimating of wildlife, followed by dogs... it's a fact, look it up. Fark it, maybe that's a tall order for your kind...www.australasianscience.com.au/news/january-2012/domestic-dogs-are-bigger-problem-cats-our-native-wildlife.html

Domestic cats are usually too useless and lazy to hunt, they're concerned about their social status and territory. Wild cats need to eat, and when was the last time you saw a fat wild cat, like the usual obese bogans we get out west.

its amazing what the local animal shelter tells potential new owners of the poor dogs needing a home. At the park i met friend who adopted what she was told was a hungarian visla, same colour and coat as one, but has staffy/arab head and is crazy. Another got a dalmation, with a staffy/arab head and crazy too, another meant to be a labrador but clearly with a staffy/arab looking head and is nuts ..... all fine with people but relentless with other dogs

Cats did 9/11

So do we kill the cats or the people who introduced them to where they have no earthly reason to be????

Cats are easy to bury

Geez the hating on cats when all I said was that dogs were better, nothing about why we should get rid of cats and or their owners. I have 2 dogs and think they are much better than the 2 cats that have adopted our family but does not mean I hate cats cmon not like they are out riding bicycles on the road.

If we had a resolute Parks and Wildlife we would find a solution to the cats out of doors.

Ive watched at close hand some of their achievements. I know if you want to shoot goats or pigs or pick blackberries around Bathurst the best spot to go is the nature reserve.

Never really looked that deeply into cats but I know the best solution for carp would be to hire a team of geneticists to come up with a solution like producing a dominant strain of sterile males. Short of that serious electro fishing but they do neither.

Massive education of pet owners would work to a degree. Advertising has certainly worked to increase pet ownership, driven primarily by the pet food industry.

I know responsible cat owners who have gone to great lengths to contain their cats. It can be done. If there were a serious risk that a wayward kitty was going to meet his maker pretty damn soon there would be a little more focus.

But wild dogs are a major problem too.

Personally I think that the cat hater thing is largely an ego driven phenomenon. That said I have trapped and drowned cats when I had an allergic partner.

Parks and Wildlife are generally doomed before they start. As soon as they announce a cull of feral animals some bleeding heart animal welfare group starts ranting.

There's 5000 feral horses up around Lake Gregory in the Kimberley, no-one even knows the lake exists, let alone the horses - until someone announces a cull...

What gives anyone the right to cull anything?
