Id rather die from a shot to the head than being mauled to death.
The only people cruel to animals in these sort of cases are the irresponssible morons that let their cats roam wherver they want to, preferably they'd be the animals that were put down.
He's a pretty good shot if he got the cat in the head while it was attacking chooks.
I agree that people shouldn't let cats roam free, but cats are shifty little bastards and sometimes get out. If mine got past me and a neighbour shot him, I don't know what would happen.
I'm pretty sure the cat owner can be fined if their cat kills someones animals. How many chickens died?
