Carl, the threat seems the same to me, so, perhaps they aren't fooling
themselves after all?
Also..........
I am a bit naive in regards to this topic but....
Does desexing a cat cause it to not be interested in hunting and killing or
does it only take its mind off sex?
I would have thought the hunting bits are still intact but the sex bits
are............history?
After all, hunting is for food. Sex is for continuing the line.
Even if the creature is no longer interested in continuing the line it still
might be interested in eating.
Or having a bit of gratuitous violent fun.
I have always thought that the basic purpose of "desexing" pet cats (and
dogs) was to prevent them from going forth and multiplying, not necessarily
to stop them from destroying native wildlife. Although.........there does
seem to be a common belief that desexed cats (and dogs) spend their days
simply lying around the house trying to work out what they are missing out
on.
I'm with them there!
