Everybody seems to be missing the point here. I don't hate cats, I have one. Dog owners are held responsible for their dogs, cat owners should also be held responsible for their cats. As long as I own the land and pay the taxes I should also be able to keep unwanted cats off and I can't. Cats can go anywhere they want, any time they want, no laws against it. In Connecticut there isn't anything legal I can do. In order for me to stop cats from coming on my land or jumping on my property I must break the law. This is not right.
To compel a man to subsidize with his taxes the propagation of ideas which he disbelieves and abhors is sinful and tyrannical. Thomas Jefferson
