Wisconsin Considers Legalizing Cat Hunting

(April 12) - Feline lovers holding pictures of cats, clutching stuffed animals and wearing whiskers faced-off against hundreds of hunters at meetings around Wisconsin to voice their opinion on whether to legalize cat hunting.

Residents in 72 counties were asked whether free-roaming cats - including any domestic cat that isn't under the owner's direct control or any cat without a collar - should be listed as an unprotected species. If listed as so, the cats could be hunted.

It is a measure designed to make driving safer in Wisconsin, where the roads never seem to end. Fewer cats means less slippery roads.

Lacy has voted “Yes” on the question.
