Just imagine the level of cruelty and callousness shown towards the sufferings of animals by this.
Well, I checked out the patents, and I tend to feel that most people wouldn’t bother buying anything like this. It seems that most people who care about their cats wouldn’t want them out eating other animals anyway. And honestly, I don’t know of a store that would carry it in stock for fear of protests from PETA or others.
Besides, who really cares about swallow overpopulation that much that they would go to this extreme to take care of it.
Frankly, I think the person who invented this is a bit of a kook with a little too much time on his/her hands.
Probably not much to worry about here.
I heard on the radio this morning about a “Kurdish cat massacre”, and they actually used the term “ethnic cat cleansing.”
How long before the PETA freaks go charging off on this one?
Now there’s a flavour that my cat actually craves. He’s waiting for mouse and small bird flavoured cat food as we speak. I can’t see him really craving beef as I have never seen a housecat take a steer down in the wild. It would be an impressive sight to see a ten pound housecat leap from the bush onto the unsuspecting heifer, one bite to the back of the neck and the heifer then proceeds to stomp the cat into paste. Oh yeah, my cat craves beef.
Sparrows are an introduced pest that compete for space once held by other indigenous species. I have no use for them.
Seems like a novel way to make more room for bluebirds and swallows while feeding your cat at the same time and it might also mean that less horses get turned into cat and dog bits.
I occasionally buy a mouse from the pet store for my indoor cat to have her way with. I wouldn’t have a problem buying or trapping a bird for her, but I can’t imagine the ruckus as she chased the bird all over my apartment.
What other use do they have, other than walking across your keyboard and opening long lost files and making you sneeze things out that you may eventually need?
I think of my daughters cat as a self-sustaining mouse trap, I give it a roof over it’s head, other than that, It can hunt or starve as far as I care, screw the little self-rightous holier-than-thou persnickity little bastard.
Ok, yes, I do buy cat food, but only because my daughter threatens to take me out of her will if I don’t.
Good god…
That utterly disturbed me, especially as a songbird rehabliltator; but you guys are right. Who the hell would buy it, anyway?
Actually, that thing could very well harm rare species of songbirds as well as those considered ‘pests’. And for goodness sakes, if your cat’s gonna eat birds, make him work his fat ass off and catch them himself!!
Grr. Moron.
Mercy sakes! What some peoples kids can think up. :wally
I’m not sure the contraption would even work and if it did, it would be illegal in many communities.
Certainly good for a laugh, though.
