Friday Cat Hunting?

Well all those who were mocking the proposal to allow the hunting of feral cats in Wisconsin will have to go back to their old standbye Wisconsin jokes, those cheese and Omnipresent Bar jokes still work.

Especially Minnesotans, because apparently, you can hunt all the feral cats you want there!

Somebody better tell Kevin Drum to keep his cats the fuck out of Edina!

Cat lovers around the nation howled in outrage, the man who made the proposal received death threats, and some Minnesota letter writers asked how Wisconsin could be so cruel to even consider such a thing.

They might be surprised to learn wild cats are fair game in Minnesota, and have been for years.

"A wild or feral cat is an unprotected species in Minnesota," said Mark Holsten, Department of Natural Resources deputy commissioner. They can be shot or trapped or otherwise killed as a nuisance animal, like gophers, skunks or weasels, Holsten said.
