Letter to the Editor: Please take care of your wild cats

Dear Editor,

Just a brief note to ask others out there to help their community and rural areas. If you have wild cats, trap them, have them neutered or spayed and turn them back loose unless there is one you are wanting to keep.

Two times in one week I listened to moans and groans of people who have numerous wild cats around their places; instead of choosing the responsible avenues, they choose to let them roam free, have or make more babies, pass on a disease, get mange or whatever. To let them go hungry is a form of abuse, and abuses are punishable should that be the avenue law enforcement wants to pursue.

Please know where your beloved pet is at all times. There is a person who seems to enjoy driving way off the highway to kill them. We have four of those buried out here. One can drive to Billings and back rarely seeing a fur baby killed on purpose. One can drive to Powell or Cody from Lovell and sometimes count four or five where they are off the highway, but the culprit has driven, even down into a borrow pit, to run over some ... birds in the median.

Who knows? Maybe there is more than one person. Whether or not, it is wrong and should send a message to each and every one of us. These people too often start killing larger animals and then take a human life.
