I just realized, Alaskans already have a choice on cats. They can shoot fewer cats now, or shoot more later when Becky relaxes the laws for more free practice targets.

If anyone wants to get their rifle or hunting skills improved I HIGHLY advise they use cats for lessons. Shooting cats with their wary, darty, and furtive behavior and small size are much more difficult targets than anyone would first think. Some of the most-wary on my lands I even had to dress in camo to get them. And if you love animals, as much as I do, and don't want any of them to suffer (even these least-worthy-of-life cats), you'll be damned sure you are an excellent shot.

So far, this is the ONLY value they have when found unattended in nature -- improving human hunters' skills (for we are, after all, a natural hunter/gatherer species). You'll just employ "death by attrition" that Becky's TNR program depends on to reduce cat populations. She'll thank-you when all her TNR cats die, proof that TNR actually works!
