Actions like this are not good for the public’s perception of hunting (and in many places are illegal as this case presented). You also have to wonder about his taking a photo, saying to a stranger that he shot the cat, and supplying the photo as evidence — not smart.
I hate free roaming cats as much as anyone for the billions (yes, with a “B”) of birds and other critters they wantonly kill in a year, but this guy’s actions are not the best way to deal with the problem.
