nofish4me Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) ..... Cat owners have no problem? I own a "Hunting Dog" (Beagle) and take it out for regular "exercise & training". According to the reg's, I can be fined for not having a Hunting License. During the "Off Season" I'm covered under a "Training Permit" which costs virtually nothing. So, why can cat owners let their cat/cats out to roam any time of year and not be fined under the same reg's? My guess would be, they aren't "hunting dogs". hahaha Thought this might be a fun topic. Please keep responses light hearted. Hahaha Edited January 18, 2014 by nofish4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nofish4me Posted January 18, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) Cats do well on their own...they don't need a hunter... My dog's never caught a bunny, but would a CO have to follow reg's? Edited January 19, 2014 by nofish4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jedimaster Posted January 18, 2014 Report Share Posted January 18, 2014 (edited) What kind of cats are we talking about? Cougars have been fined before. Usually not under hunting regs though, indecent exposure. Edited January 18, 2014 by jedimaster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

d_paluch Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Because cats are the superior animal.... But really, as far as I know, most municipalities have by-laws against cats being able to roam outdoors. Check your local by-laws, if there is a 'problem cat' I believe you have the right to trap it and bring it to the humane society, which then the owner would have to pay a decent fine to get the cat back.

Covered for what with a training permit? I have a 3 year old German Shorthair that I run for an hour every day. Would love to know if I'm breaking any laws LOL!

nofish4me Posted January 19, 2014 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 (edited) I was afraid someone might ask. Hahaha. I'll post it once I find it again. "You must have an authorization or licence issued from the local ministry office to conduct dog training and field trials on game mammals and game birds during the closed season, or an appropriate hunting licence during the open season." I guess it's best if there is no training involved. Hahaha Edited January 19, 2014 by nofish4me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave524 Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 So, why can cat owners let their cat/cats out to roam any time of year and not be fined under the same reg's? Cats indescriminately target protected species, not like running a dog on game species. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralph Field Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 I read that in order to go raccoon hunting you have to have a registered hunting dog. I have never heard this before and years ago we shot all kinds of raccoons without having a dog present. I own a mixed breed a Beagle crossed with a German Sheppard, so if I take her fishing or hunting am I breaking some new law ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sinker Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 In most townships, its just as illegal for a cat to run at large as it is a dog. Go do your thing. Nobody is going to enforce you running your dogs. I wouldn't think twice. S. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crappieperchhunter Posted January 19, 2014 Report Share Posted January 19, 2014 Outdoor cats cause so much damage it's unbelievable! If you have a cat, do the wild animals a favour and keep those things inside!!!! Agree 100%. We have a neighbor in Bobcaygeon who started feeding the ferrel cats 2 summers ago. One of my wives favorite pastimes is reading and she could sit in the yard for hours in her Muskoka chair armed with peanuts to feed the dozens of chipmunks and bluejays. Two summers of the neighbor feeding the cats and the chipmunks are completely wiped out...we literally only seen one all last summer...when before we used to see as many as 4-5 at a time. And to add insult to injury most weekends when we get to the cottage Friday night we will have to chase a bunch of those cats off our porch when we get up there I have nothing against cats...we have a house cat and she is a great pet and companion. I just don't understand people who think it's okay to let there cats out. To me it is one of the most despicable disrespectful things you can do to your neighbors or your neighborhood. I have seen a favorite fun pastime of Debbe's completely wiped out by outdoor cats. Very upsetting and sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You need to borrow that beagle for a couple of weekends, the cats will get the run put on them pretty quick! All kidding aside, if these cats are causing a problem I would consider calling animal control, you might have to borrow a live trap, and catch them but animal control will take them away for you.

Muskieman Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 ^^^ yes , so long as it's done humanely , you are allowed to dispatch any stray without identifying tags on private property ... been there done that ,after nearly losing my hand to a bite from a stray. those who follow me on FB can attest to it .

irishfield Posted January 21, 2014 Report Share Posted January 21, 2014 All of our squirrels and chipmunks disappeared one year on the island up North.. but I really appreciate that the wire chewing, nest building buggers are gone.... and more so the lynx walking by from time to time!

I understand that Wayne...but thankfully we have never had an issue from critters chewing things up or being where they shouldn't be. Maybe it is because we have winter tennants so someone is always there.However we do have a small opening to the crawl space under the cottage that the critters can always get in. I can't get to it from under the cottage...to tight a fit for me...and I would have to rip the porch apart to access from outside. So we used to find peanut shells under the cottage. Now we have chipmunk and bird carcasses left by those darling cats. And it is sand under there as well...which means to them it is a big old litter box. Yeah I just love people's outdoor cats Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
