On: One man’s fight to end California’s ban on ferrets

At the very least allow people to kill cats when they're on your property.

Instead you can face a year in jail if you put down the cat that's been hunting your rabbits and chickens

A few years ago someone in the UK put an electric net over their vegetable patch, probably to stop cats. Long story short a cat was killed by said electric net. He was prosecuted but only got a fine of £60 or something. I suspect he might have felt that was good value to eliminate the cat shit from his veggies.

People have problems with cats and chickens? Dogs, sure, but cats?

Our chickens stare down the neighbour's barn cat (who hunts full size rabbits BTW) and the cat is like... hm.... not worth it, and she moves on.

Now, I wouldn't want cats around when they're still chicks, true. A rooster comes in handy then, though.

We used to have a bantam chicken and we'd regularly see the neighbor's cat sprinting through our garden being chased around by a small, bite-size chicken.

The cat would regularly terrorize the larger chickens, but it knew not to fuck with the little guy.
