Self Defense of Persons and Property Against Feral Cats Prohibited

[Ross7]

Don't seem to have a problem with stray cats or dogs where I live, but I might have the nearby Chinese restaurant to thank for that.

This is the section of Florida Statutes applicable to the discussion. Just perform a simple Google search for "is it legal to shoot a cat in Florida"
Florida 828.12 Cruelty to animals.—
(2) A person who intentionally commits an act to any animal, or a person who owns or has the custody or control of any animal and fails to act, which results in the cruel death, or excessive or repeated infliction of unnecessary pain or suffering, or causes the same to be done, commits aggravated animal cruelty, a felony of the third degree, punishable as provided in s. 775.082 or by a fine of not more than $10,000, or both.
(a) A person convicted of a violation of this subsection, where the finder of fact determines that the violation includes the knowing and intentional torture or torment of an animal that injures, mutilates, or kills the animal, shall be ordered to pay a minimum mandatory fine of $2,500 and undergo psychological counseling or complete an anger management treatment program.

Watch this video, turn the volume up and pay attention - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LV2vMBdD99o&t=1s
Watch the lecture by Dr. Judith Milcarsky Vet. on the same you tube channel.
This is of importance to everyone as there is a push to establish TNR programs every where. In Florida the first step was to stop people from killing the cats by the statewide animal cruelty laws. It is in south and north Florida and coming to an animal control center near you soon. Posters should refrain from mentioning killing animals in their posts. http://news.maryland.gov/dnr/2017/0...-media-to-track-down-suspected-deer-poachers/

You're asking the wrong question. Ask if it's legal to kill an animal attacking you.

Exact same OP found elsewhere. Stinks of the "wild dog" which ties into the subject matter doesn't it!
