Re: Cat hunting in Switzerland

It's pretty sad but I live out in the wop wops too and my neighbours have told me about how their cat miraculously made it back homeŽafter being shot. The vet removed the bullet and Fluffy (sorry can't recall real name ) still lives to this day.

Cat theft is also an issue, I hear. Another neighbour has cats and they're tagged and chipped and all.

Makes me wonder what's up with the moggy-meddling mentalities that are out there.

On April 1, the NY Times published an article on cat hunting and the selling of cat fur in Switzerland. At first I thought it was a joke (being April Fool's Day) but after more research, I found a previous article from the Blick to substantiate it.

Know anything about this practice here? I've never heard of it and I live out in the country among the hillbillies.
