The 'study' (as you called it) I am referring to is at: http://www.cfhs.ca/Programs/HumaneEducation/ViolenceLink/ccbackgrounder4.htm
I live in Maryland, and we have large herds of feral cats. It is virtually impossible to tell the difference between wild ones and domestic ones.

I hope you don't honestly consider removing a vicious animal that is causing harm to other animals abuse. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:19 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat It is not that I cannot understand your justification, it is just that this distinction you came up with is at odds with the one used by criminal profilers with the FBI and Scotland Yard who spend their time researching these kinds of people. Animal abusers also often suffer from low self-esteem, a history of family abuse, frustration and an inability to manage anger.

Beating the cat for doing something wrong = beating your wife because she did something to piss you off. Removing a cat or dog that is sickly and causing harm to other animals is not the same. One is done maliciously the other is done out of necessity. Do you see the distinction between abusing my dog because it wet on the carpet and removing a wild dog that is knocking over your rabbit cages and eating the rabbits you are raising for show. I sure do. I don't know how you can't see the distinction between the two. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:03 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat I am unclear on how you make that distinction provided you are reading this quote without any context for understanding it. It would appear your distinction is artificial. M -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 2:02 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat However, I don't think that violence was in the same context. I think they are talking about the Dog owner who beats his dog. Or the person who hits his cat, light it on fire whatever. That violence is a different type of violence. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 12:56 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat No one said anything about enjoyment, just about violence towards. M -----Original Message----- From: Kevin Schmidt [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 1:56 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat I am not intentionally harming the animal for fun or because I want to, I am ridding the farm of a nuisance. Now, if I was out kicking my dog for no good reason than that might apply. I don't intentionally go around harming animals nor do I derive any pleasure from taking their life. -----Original Message----- From: Haggerty, Mike [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 12:49 PM To: CF-Community Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat Just a reminder for my friend Kevin: FBI and Scotland Yard recognize that violence towards animals is one of five key indicators of a person who will commit violent acts against people. A past history of violence is a predictor of future aggression.

You slide the shotgun barrel into the cage and that's all she wrote. -----Original Message----- From: Beth F [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 12:01 PM To: CF-Community Subject: Re: How to Wash A Cat Feral cats let you get within two feet? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Schmidt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CF-Community" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sent: Tuesday, June 11, 2002 8:52 AM Subject: RE: How to Wash A Cat > Not likely with a shotgun from about 2 feet.
