More on the cat shooter. Apparently, he'd never have done it if he'd known the feral cats were being fed.
A prominent naturalist would not have killed a stray cat had he known that it was being fed and cared for by a toll-booth worker on the San Luis Pass Bridge, his attorney said Tuesday.

Jim Stevenson, 54, a well-known bird watcher and founder of the Galveston Ornithological Society, told the grand jury that indicted him on animal cruelty charges that he sincerely believed he was killing a feral cat that was preying on endangered species of birds, defense attorney Tad Nelson said.

"If I had known this man owned it, I would never have killed it," Stevenson told the grand jury, according to Nelson.
News flash, dude. You don't own a cat that lives under a bridge just because you give him some crunchies. Also, just because a feral cat is getting some crunchies, that doesn't mean he's not going to also eat a bird. An endangered bird at that.

So your defense has as many holes in it as that cat you shot. That well fed, feral cat. That you shot and killed.
