OK. Where is the "hide pic" button?
Get this person for animal cruelty in the state of Tennessee. They have some of the strongest laws on the books for animal cruelty.

Oh, and if someone wanted to just put that cat down then they were doing it wrong. IV sodium pentathol. That reminds me of another topic: I'm sick of this "drown them in the pond" BS. Folks who want to take responsibility for their own matters of animal population control and don't want to ask/pay a vet for a visit with the pink needle need to just invest in some bullets and they can come back and tell the kids a coyote got the kittens and a half dozen bullets couldn't bring said coyote to justice.

Try to lay off the graphic images please; I understand its related to the links and the thread but it is still a SFW board. Next time just post the link and a small warning that the images may be graphic.

OP here. Sorry about that. I didn't think it would be that bad since the cat in question is fine, but I suppose it is pretty graphic.

Gotdamn, did that arrow just narrowly miss he's brain, or what?

Unfortunately stuff like this happens all to often, especially with sadistic morons out in rural areas. I live in WV and growing up in middle of nowhere all the time I would see fucking idiot rednecks actually swerving their cars to HIT animals, like squirrels, birds, and stray cats and dogs.

Hell just last year I watched on the news a report about a cat found in a factory in the north part of the state, covered in tape and plastic and set on fire. The cat lived thankfully but had to have most of its fur removed to get off the burnt plastic.

This may of been a case of a landowner trying to stop strays from killing his own animals (cats will attack chickens and turkeys) but to shoot it with an arrow is just plain cruel. Most sensible and non-cruel farmers will put out possum traps to catch them and release them elsewhere or give them to a shelter or at least shoot them with a gun for a relatively painless (compared to poisoning or skewering with an arrow) death.

Nah bro. Take it from a guy who grew up on a farm, cats are never enough of a problem that they need to be shot at.

We had to put down several rottweilers that dug into are yard and rampaged through the henhouse, (killing upwards of 40+ chickens at a time usually, shit got old fast.) but cats aren't really a problem.

I'm sure you grew up in every farm in the US, but some people consider them a problem, and in some places they are.

Most of the times, yes they are no problem. They can be a problem however when you have strays hungry or starving start attacking farm animals. My family lost several chickens to cats that people would just drop off on the road my house was on. The cats would go to the nearest house (ours, the nearest neighbor to us was a mile away) and would attack our chickens and once our turkeys.

Thankfully though, we only lost a few chickens and only had to shoot one of the cats, the rest me managed to catch and re-domesticate. The cat shoot avoided the traps my stepdad set, killed 4 chickens, would attack anyone who tried to get near it (it jumped at my stepdads face when he tried to catch it and clawed the hell out of him, requiring stitches)and finally my stepdad shot it with a .22. It sucked and I cried (I was seven, give me a break) but it was necessary.

Yes though, dogs can be a major problem for animals on a farm. The strange thing for my family though, is the only time we had a dog problem was when a Chow mauled several of our cats. Neighbors on the other hand lost a lot of farm animals to strays. I guess we just got lucky.

I would like to ask the OP or the Mod on duty to delete the image.
I really don't want too see that each time I browse /ani/
Please?
