Re: OT my neighbor is killing all the cats- SOS
I hate hearing stories like this. Definitely relay your concerns to animal control and/or the police. If you're going to put fliers up, do NOT mention this guy's name. Sounds like he's trouble enough without getting the idea that he needs to get a lawsuit going. And a pit bull is actually a bad idea. I'm not saying that pit bulls are inherently evil, or that this won't keep cats out of his yard, but if a feral strays through that area, it could be a death sentence. I'm assuming that since the guy is a huge jerk, then he'll do his best to train the pit bull to be a jerk, too.
Re: OT my neighbor is killing all the cats- SOS
One of my friends had a similar problem with a neighbor. I contacted our state senator & she had one of her staff people get back to me about the specific regulations & what to do. They were very helpful. So, maybe try contacting your state senator & state assembly representatives. Hopefully they are animal lovers. Incidentally, this neighbor apologized to my friend out of the blue recently & asked her to forgive them...and these people used to be absolutely horrible, to the point that my husband put a surveillance camera on my friend's property for documention of this creep's activities. Thankfully, he has ceased his animal abuse, at least as far as we can tell. Good luck to you and to these babies...bless you for helping them. Yvonne In a message dated 11/19/2006 3:59:15 P.M.

Call your local authorities, this pisses me off what a cruel you know what. How dare he try to take their lives, he is lucky he is not living next door to me. This guy needs to be behind bars. I pray this stops. Lori v.
Re: OT my neighbor is killing all the cats- SOS
If he is putting it in cat food or mixed with meat, it is not for the rats. shooting cats may be illegal. I would definitely make a report to the police/animal control. Unless you are worried about calling attention to the ferals at all. Maybe the best thing to do is call Merry and talk to her about it, as she is active with some of the groups and also has some credibility with the political players...
