Please tell me that comment didn't come out the way you intended.

It was meant to be slightly flippant - read literally, it IS a way to reduce the stray population (that much is obvious), but that still doesn't make it any less disturbing. I would much rather they use another sort of bait!

Sorry, I don't think it's the kind of thing to get flippant about, but that's just me.

Maybe this thread is 'jumping the shark?'

That could very well be the funniest thing I've ever read on this board!

It's just my way of dealing with nasty things.

I have two cats that I love so I'm not about to be wishing for bad things to happen to them.

This is one of those times that i really wish the old saying "what goes around comes around" really was true all the time.

Sorry I went on "attack" mode. Animal cruelty is the only subject that I don't have any patience for. aw:

I once had a cat that bit the hook on my husband's fishing pole. It was put away, but the kids were little at the time and they left the door open to the area where the poles were stored. I'm sure that the swinging, shiny hook was very appealing to our cat. Anyway, the cat bit it and it went thru the roof of her mouth and all the way thru and out the side of her cheek area. What was funny (not really) is that the cat just made crying type noises as she dangled there. She was completely helpless! Amid thousands of scratches, I held her down while my husband cut the hook with his wire cutters and he managed to get the hook out. I'd read that article on snopes and I appreciate the link, but I can attest that there wasn't a lot of blood visible (there was some), nor was there any real outward signs of what had happened afterward. I do concede however that my cat wasn't tossed into an ocean of salt water though.

I don't care if it's happening frequently or once, IMO, it's at least 1 too many times! This is totally appalling!

You are a troll, there is no other explanation.

What is musky, and why would kittens be used for bait? I mean, I guess it's one way to reduce stray populations, but it's still damn nasty. There's no other way to catch a fish?

This is a Muskelunge.
