When cat ladies attack

The post "Wisconsin hunter wants open season on free-roaming domestic cats" described the valiant efforts of a La Crossian firefighter to get vital legislation passed.

A Michigan feline - who apparently had seen that report on the Internet - joined the war by shooting its owner.

Now the owners are getting in on it in "Man Who Wants To Hunt Domestic Cats Gets Death Threats":

...Mark Smith told La Crosse police he's gotten angry phone calls and messages at work and at home.

Police reports said one call made while Smith was working at the La Crosse Fire Department suggested it should be "open season on firefighters." Another woman told Smith that if the state Legislature approved his request Smith would be hunted down and killed...

That report has a poll and a discussion, and it directs us to a feline-friendly web site about this issue: DontShootTheCat.com.

At post time there are over 60,000 votes in the poll, with 72% opposing the measure.
