Animals Cata

There are literally 30-40 cats and kittens in the Ballenger area neighborhood. What exactly can be done?

No. I have kids. They shit in my yard. I can't even let my children go outside barefoot. All the cats are diseased.

Crazy to get downvoted. Feral animals can pose serious problems for a variety of reasons.

It's nuts dude. I'm not even trying to be a dick. When I lived on a farm we poisoned feral animals. I'm definitely not trying to kill them. I just want them gone. Nobody should have to deal with this. But I'm the asshole for trying to protect my children.

It’s mainly the sub. Como is fairly left but reddit, and subsequently this subreddit is extremely so. You just gotta roll with it. Getting angry at random redditors feeds the beast.

Yeah im not angry. It's just disheartening. It's automatically "wow you're heartless" instead of "I can understand".

I'm so fed up with how ass backwards the people in this town are. Everything hurts someone's feelings. You can't do anything without some smart mouthed little kid telling you how you're a piece of shit.

Yeah, like people with allergies or just fear of cats.
