Milk it, Governor Jim!

Governor Jim Doyle (put a big damned D after that name, please) has dashed the dreams of Wisconsin's country cat killer constituents.

MADISON, Wis. - A proposal to legalize the killing of feral cats is not going to succeed, Gov. Jim Doyle said Wednesday.

"I don't think Wisconsin should become known as a state where we shoot cats," said Doyle, a Democrat who neither hunts nor owns a cat.

Cue the Applause !

"What it does is sort of hold us up as a state that everybody is kind of laughing at right now."

Laughing?

Who would laugh at Good Christian Men^® salivating over the prospect of shooting small furry animals?




Never mind, Governor. I see your point.

He told reporters his office had received calls from around the country denouncing a proposal adopted Monday at meetings of the Wisconsin Conservation Congress, a public advisory group, that would classify wild, free-roaming cats as an unprotected species that kills song birds and other wildlife. --snip--

The results get forwarded to the state Natural Resources Board for consideration, but any official action would have to be passed by the Legislature and signed by the governor. LINK

When asked to comment, one feral cat said, "Thanks, Governor Jim!"





Heavy sigh of relief for lost kitties in Cheeseland.
