MY remarks :

Was ment to show the silly side of it all. See the object of this
campain was to have a set arguement about feral cats being harmful to
the enviorment , more so than any ferret could achieve if put in the
same sucumstances (spell check) .
So from using a already placed killer as an example was the idea. Not to
out right kill off all cats . Just state that the feral cats will kill
off the wildlife as the CA F&G said the ferrets in the wild would do so
why don't they treat feral cats as a threat?
All creatures have a right to life, it is just how far back do you want
to take the arguement, to killing cattle for beef , killing minks for
pelts or killing thousands of germs when you brush your teeth. You are
including ALL animals right? Sort of a strange agruement but one I used
when a lady started yelling at us for eating a steak at a local dinner's
outdoor seating that was next to the sidewalk...
She went off mad and we went on eating . Last time I looked I have
omnivore teeth, both vegetable matter and flesh alike. Am I a more
humane person for not eating meat ? Yes to some , No to others who like
meat. So let those who like tofu eat it , but let us eat our flesh.
BTW, No ferret should ever be on a strict diet of vegetables, they are
carnivores... Death Adder
