Governor Shuns Law on Killing of Feral Cats
From Times Wire Reports
A proposal to legalize the killing of feral cats is not going to succeed, Gov. Jim Doyle said in Madison.
“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. “What it does is sort of hold us up as a state that everybody is kind of laughing at right now.”
Citizens approved the proposal 6,830 to 5,201 at statewide hearings by the Wisconsin Conservation Congress. The measure would have to be approved by the Legislature.
