Hypothetically: If my dog killed a cat that strayed into my backyard

[brainhulk]

what would I have to do, call PETA or something?

If you recognize the cat, tell the neighbor. If not, toss it in the garbage can and forget about it.

Bury the cat before it starts to stink.

If you know the cats owner and are so inclined you could take it to them and let them handle the burial and offer your condolenses

 

[joesmoke]

if "trash day" is within the next 24 hrs, throw it away in a shoebox

a more respectful version of this is taking said shoebox to ur local pound/animal control and pay 10 bucks so they can incinerate it.

 

[RedRooster]

I'd put the dog down, personally.

It's the natural order of things. The strong kill the weak. Be proud of your dog. I would be. Everyone knows this.

 

[ViviTheMage]

Make the dog finish it off? Can't kill something and not eat it gpa always said.

that would be stupid too.


if it happened here i would bury it in the back of my yard. got 2 dogs, 1 snake and goldfish buried out there already heh.

I'd give the dog praise. It's the natural order of things and a dog should be willing to protect his property against lesser animals.

Free roaming cats are a natural disaster. They literally are causing species extinction.

 

[DesiPower]

bury it under a tree in the yard, they make good fertilizers.

my dog did catch a stray cat in our backyard. shoveled it into a glad bag and put it in the dumpster. my animals get buried in the pet cemetery on the side of the house.

cats dont crawl around on our back fence anymore.

why? the dog is doing what it is supposed to do--thin the population of the far inferior cats.

 

[Barfo]

Cut it into pieces and feed it to the dog.

 

[DrPizza]

Put it in an opaque garbage bag & mix in with the rest of the trash. Hell, that's what I did with our 17 year old cat when it died. My wife said "how would you like it if I sent you to the dump when you died?" "Really, I wouldn't care. I'd be dead." Occasionally, I'm a sentimental kinda guy - just not with dead cats. My dogs will get a burial.

Mount it on a stick in the front yard for all cats to see. None shall pass.

My Lab killed a stray cat once. I called the city and they said the cat can be thrown away with the regular trash.

Hypothetically, did this cat have a collar/tags?

which species are extinct because of cats?

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

My dogs kill all kinds of animals in the backyard. It's their territory. They got an orange tabby not to long ago. I checked it for tags, found none and threw it in the trash.

ferral cats are more than a nuissance.

This can get you sued, your dog taken away by animal control, and possibly put down. People are dicks these days.

I never said they don't cause problems.

However, no species has become extinct because of cats in North America.

It's true they have probably only cause animal extinctions in island environments.

 

[preslove]

It is now your neighbors right to slaughter and eat your dog. Canine Hot Pot FTW!

exactly.

environments where there are no predators or at least cat-like predators.
