Detroit neighborhood freaks out over wild cat; shoots it.

Sad story, so this cross between a domestic and a serval, weighing about 25 pounds, escaped from its owners home. Neighborhood peeps (most very low on the education scale and probably borderline retarded) started freaking -- stories started evolving and there were tards in this hood saying that the cat was 5 feet tall and that it must have been a lion or a leopard, and that it was only a matter of time before it started eating women & children. No joke. I saw some videos prior to the shooting (while the story was in the news) where people were saying this nonsense.
The cat, in reality, weighed 25 pounds. 
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/08/27/detroit-big-cat-roaming/2706217/
Quote:
DETROIT — A big cat roaming Detroit's northeast side is dead, according to a feral cat rescue group that had been trying to find it for days.
The body of the 25-pound, 3-year-old Savannah cat named Chum was found in a trash can on Detroit's east side Monday evening, said founder Laura Wilhelm-Bruzek of Paws for the Cause, a feral cat rescue group based in Chesterfield Township, Mich.
A neighbor shot the cat days ago, she said. The all-volunteer nonprofit rescue group and advocates for feral cats had been searching for the cat, which was not feral but a family pet, since Saturday.
"I think people can't just go around shooting things they don't understand," Wilhelm-Bruzek said Tuesday. "I think we need to be a little bit more respectful of the animals and human beings around us. I'd love to see someone look into it and investigate it. But I'm not holding out a lot of hope. This whole thing from the beginning has just been a mess."
Neighbors said they had contacted the Michigan Humane Society and Detroit Police when the cat — called a Savannah — was seen roaming the neighborhood but both declined to investigate.
Paws for a Cause got involved last week, and the cat's owners called the group Monday, Wilhelm-Bruzek said. They said the cat, which did not have a microchip, had gotten out of their home about a month ago through a window.
“I think people can't just go around shooting things they don't understand.” — Laura Wilhelm-Bruzek, Paws for the Cause rescue group The rescue group heard that the cat had been shot weren't able to find the cat's body until Monday when a member was shown where the cat had been thrown away, Wilhelm-Bruzek said.
"I simply asked them for the cat's body and they said it was across the street in a garbage can," she said. She was walked to the garbage can, "and the cat — whose name is Chum — was there," she said.
Chum's owners, who had raised the cat since it was 4 months old, were devastated.
"They were hysterical," Wilhelm-Bruzek said, adding that they are having the cat cremated today.
A Savannah is a hybrid between a domesticated housecat and an African serval cat, according to the International Cat Association.
Wilhelm-Bruzek said Chum, about 2 feet tall from floor to head when sitting, was an F2 Savannah, or a second-generation hybrid.
"I don't think it was the size as much as the coloration that scared people," Wilhelm-Bruzek said. Savannah cats have long legs and exotic spots like a small leopard or wildcat, according to the association. They were first introduced to the public in 1997, are considered an official pedigreed breed, and are sold for thousands of dollars.
Michigan Humane Society spokesman Ryan McTigue said Tuesday that the agency was unaware of the cat's status.
"That's pretty terrible," McTigue said when told about the cat's fate.

There's no question those low IQ'd tards (all of them strapped too) are fucking idiots, and I feel horribly for the owners, but fuck. There are no excuses for letting a cat like that escape. You have to be vigilant with an animal like that. The story I heard was that they had the window up and only the screen kept the cat from getting into the neighborhood, and a 25-30 pound cat like that will go through that screen like a hot knife through butter. Wtf were they thinking.
But yeah as soon as that poor cat got out, it was an automatic death sentence in a trash neighborhood like that.

Yeah, but it's not like these cats are dangerous semi feral killing machines.
They are also only slightly larger than a Main Coon which tops out at 25 pounds.
Freaking morons are what these people are...

They are to a child, toddler, or an infant. It is 1/2 African Serval, which is a wild predator. You would shoot a half wolf if it was wandering your yard where your children play, and wait for the bus every morning, and this is no different. If you don't want your Serval hybrid cat killed, keep it inside. It was a threat, it was removed. Nothing ignorant about that.

I would not have killed it (barring extreme circumstances) but really, if you value your pet's life then make sure it doesn't get out and roam the neighborhood. If it's something exotic that has the appearance of a wild animal then all the more reason.

Yeah, I'm afraid of a 'cat' that looks like a fucking leopard. I'm also afraid of real leopards. I'm not going to take a chance with some shit like this. I'm not just going to wait around and see what it does. Fuck that. And fuck the people who bought this animal and didn't take care of it. That creature's owner killed it when he or she let it escape.

I think everyone comprehends it just fine. Half Serval, got it. Potential threat to my child or another child in my neighborhood, got it. Natural decision, remove the threat. I keep my pets on my own property, why can't everyone else?

But your first instinct would indeed be to call animal control, right? At least that's better than nothing. And if they declined to come investigate, and you're that frightened by a 25 pound cat, fine bro, shoot away.

So let me get this straight. You buy a multi-THOUSAND dollar cat and you live in DETROIT, specifically close to a bad neighborhood, and you decide to NOT get the transmitter chip implanted that gives you access to your pet's location with just a PHONE CALL? Those only cost a few hundred at most. I mean I know they didn't expect it to get out but if you ever leave windows open you should realize that it might get out being a 25lb cat as was previously mentioned.
-------------------- In science it often happens that scientists say, 'You know that's a really good argument; my position is mistaken,' and then they actually change their minds and you never hear that old view from them again. They really do it. It doesn't happen as often as it should, because scientists are human and change is sometimes painful. But it happens every day. I cannot recall the last time something like that happened in politics or religion. [Carl Sagan, 1987 CSICOP keynote address]

A wild animal doesn't have to be big to do you some damage. Perhaps I could win in a hand to hand fight with a 25 pound lynx or a 25 pound raccoon, but I would not want to try. They have sharp claws and fast reflexes. A domestic animal hybridized with a wild one is at best semi-domesticated IMO, you never know when those instincts will kick in.

Looks pretty lanky to me in the pic. It's no more a big housecat than a wolf hybrid is just a big dog. It's a different kind of animal entirely.

So you never answered my question earlier. I realize that in this particular story, the initial calls to animal control went ignored. But if this happened in your neighborhood, would you at least try animal control first? Or would you shoot first and ask questions later? I'm asking you personally. The other dude already said shoot first.

Oh, and by the way, greencrush -- what if it's a 25 pound dog instead of this cat that ventured into your yard and was a threat to your 17 pound son and 14 pound Jack Terrier? Do you still feel the same way?

For me it would depend entirely on the circumstances. If it's just walking along minding its own business then that's one thing, if it's acting aggressively around my kids that's another.

Totally agree. If it's stalking, say your house pet, or acting aggressively towards yourself -- I mean yeah. Deadly force is sometimes necessary.

By all accounts though that little dude was just walking around minding its own business, probably trying to get home. Or maybe just enjoying being outside for the first time. But if it was being aggressive, okay. That's entirely different.
But the shoot first mentality (no matter what), I just don't really understand that.

I would try animal control first, and probably the DNR as well.

Felines are stronger and fiercer than canines. They also stalk their prey and this particular cat was half wild animal so it was probably much more dangerous than a 25 pound dog. I still wouldn't have shot the cat though.

It was thrown in a trash can. I don't think it was done in an act of self-defense or defending another pet. If you cared that much for your pets life, I think you'd at least have the respect to find out more info, bury it, anything. But throwing it in the trash? What's that shit? The anti-feline cartel?
What a beautiful animal. Sad stuff.

Yeah, very sad. It was obviously killed by a very stupid or thoughtless person if they thought the best home for it was in a trash can.

It was one of the people in the neighborhood who killed it and dumped the body in the trashcan. The owners were reportedly frantic and very crushed over this.

Who would shoot a beautiful cat like that? Give it some food and water, and then call aminal control. Fucking idiots, but I have very low expectations for most of the behavior that takes place in Detroit, so I'm not totally surprised.

And the fact that you said that tells me you have no children, and I hope you never do. Natural-selection should eliminate your inferior blood from the gene pool.

If you don't want your kid killed, keep it inside. If it got out of your house, it could get into mine. I keep my kid on my own property, why couldn't you? Your kid could have a communicable disease, why should I have to worry about my kid on my own property? It's my fucking property, get the fuck outta here.

First of all: I do keep my baby inside, so your point is moot. I'm more concerned with the fact that you want to murder a baby.
Second of all: Kills someones child and see what happens to you, pussy. I would bend you over and rape your bitch ass, then filet you alive. My kid can barely crawl, dumb fuck. Any good human being would try to find the parent, not kill a child. And shut the fuck up about your kids, you don't have any. If you did you wouldn't talk about murdering babies. Or maybe... that's why you don't have any kids, huh? You murdered them while they were infants, didn't you? Scumbag.

It's not murder if there's a legitimate threat to me or my child's safety, and a potentially diseased kid is a definite threat. And it's my fucking property anyway. Not taking any chances.

No it wasn't. And I'm not mad, I just think you're a scumbag for wanting to kill children. The conversation jumped from killing a stray cat, to killing a baby. Cat lives are not equivalent to human lives, moron. Try telling the police you killed a 10 month old baby out of self defense, and see what happens.

Yeah but he wasn't being serious, he just copied one of your posts in this thread and replaced the word "Cat" with "Kid", as far as I can tell...

You didn't say you think he's a scumbag for making terrible jokes about killing children or whatever.. You flat out said he's a scumbag for wanting to kill children. So yes, it sure seems like you believed it.. That's not really that far of an assumption.

The attitudes people are having in this thread towards a small cat that, as far as we know, displayed ZERO aggressive behavior, is disgusting. I would bitch slap anyone who would shoot something that they can easily subdue or kill with their bare hands for simply being around 'their precious (kid)'. Huskies are part wolf, part domesticated and THOUSANDS of people own them and have kids in the same house. And whoever said cats are more aggressive or deadly or some retarded shit like that needs his dick cut off so he cant reproduce, save our species while we can from scared punks like this that have never been around a cat for more than 5 minutes and think that they have the right to decide if it should exist or not based on their lack of knowledge.
How do you call yourself a man when you would shoot a small animal like that. YOU OWN A FUCKING HOUSE. PUT YOUR KID IN THE HOUSE AND THEN YOU HAVE NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT FROM THE CAT. Unless you think it poses some threat to you in which case you are a pathetic excuse for a man. There is a large (80+lb) black husky with blue eyes in our suburban neighborhood that roams freely and pisses on most peoples yards every morning. It has come all the way into our backyard and even up onto our deck numerous times. Not ONCE has it barked, even when I approached it. And once approached by people it starts slowly going away. I wasn't afraid of that thing in middle school so you must be quite the sorry piece of human to be afraid of a 25lb cat as a full grown "man".

Of course a 25 pound half-serval is more dangerous than a dog. I didn't say the cat should have been killed though, dummy.

Cats tend to have an attack and run mentality (part of their hunting mentality) where as dogs don't. I'd say cats being more dangerous than dogs is highly debatable. A cat will probably swipe at you a few times and take off running, a dog will keep attacking until it can't (or there's no need) any longer.
I'd honestly not want to piss off my 20 pound Boston Terrier/hound mix.. Despite her small size I'm fairly confident she could do more than superficial damage and she has the energy and speed to be dangerous. She has extremely powerful jaws, no doubt stronger than a cat of comparable size. The only thing the cat really has going for it is the claws. Its pretty common for house cats to be declawed, so there's a fairly good chance any given cat doesn't even have that advantage.

I'm sorry I went overboard in response to your comment. I was still thinking about the moron who owns a house and is afraid that the 25lb cat will destroy it and his entire family.
I'm still trying to wrap my head around exactly what about these cats makes you think they are more dangerous than an aggressive, 80lb+ dog with more than twice the cat's bite force. This cat can't even fit its mouth around your whole hand and you think its dangerous... This cat has claws that would at MOST give you minor cuts that wouldn't even require stitches. If you are threatened by something that is less than 25% of your body weight that isn't poisonous you need to work out or get a better appreciation for what you are capable of. We are THE MOST DEADLY CREATURE ON THE PLANET(and the most intelligent), AND YOU CANT BEAT AN OVERGROWN HOUSE CAT? DAFUQ?

So... we can use just about any vulgar language we want... so long as it isn't directed at someone? Or is it 'moron' in specific? I'm pretty sure I've insulted people in a much more vulgar way before this, so I'm a bit confused.

It's not always enforced but you can be banned for personal insults. Calling someone's arguments stupid is fair game though.

I think people just assume that a bigger cat that has some wild blood in it -- even if it's only slightly bigger than a house cat -- is a serious threat.
It would be one thing if this cat was a 150 pound jaguar or 120 pound cheetah roaming the neighborhood. Well that's obvious. But a 25 pound cat isn't going to attack small children or small dogs. Period. Why? because it too IS SMALL. 25 pounds is nothing. Cats don't go around attacking stuff for fun; they do it to eat. And if it's too big they're not going to fuck with it.
This 25 pound cat would be hunting and eating small birds and rodents. Not children and people's house pets

No, they aren't. Huskies are Canis familiaris, Red Wolves are Canis Rufus, and Timber Wolves are Canis Lupis. They are of the same Genus, but of an entirely separate species. Nice try though.

It would be one thing if this cat was a 150 pound jaguar or 120 pound cheetah roaming the neighborhood. Well that's obvious. But a 25 pound cat isn't going to attack small children or small dogs. Period. Why? because it too IS SMALL. 25 pounds is nothing. Cats don't go around attacking stuff for fun; they do it to eat. And if it's too big they're not going to fuck with it.
This 25 pound cat would be hunting and eating small birds and rodents. Not children and people's house pets 
I know this cat was only half Serval, but this is from Wikipedia.
Quote:
The serval has been observed taking larger animals, such as deer, gazelle, and springbok.
Purebred Serval aren't much bigger than this half Serval was, weighing in between 15 and 40lbs. So, it stands to reason that a 25lb 1/2 Serval could kill a child or small dog.

True that. Good points.

No, they aren't. Huskies are Canis familiaris, Red Wolves are Canis Rufus, and Timber Wolves are Canis Lupis. They are of the same Genus, but of an entirely separate species. Nice try though. 
That's outdated info. Canis familiaris is no longer recognized as its own species, it's just a subspecies of Canis lupus.

What-the-fuck-ever. I don't need a scientist to tell me a wolf ain't the same as a dog. Dogs have evolved to live with people. Wolves haven't. Huskies are fucking dogs.
And another thing, cats can fuck you up. Just putting that out there.

Unlike say a lion and a tiger or a horse and a donkey, a dog and a wolf can breed and produce offspring that are not just viable but able to produce their own offspring. They're the same species.
Dogs are wolves that have been bred to behave themselves around humans. If you cross a domestic dog with a wolf from the wild, you can't really expect the same predictable tame behavior because you're basically throwing all that selective breeding out the window. Same goes for crossing domestic cats and wild ones.

I stand corrected, it's been a while since I took a biology class. Thanks for educating me on that. There is still a big difference though, I have two Huskies (one purebred Siberian Husky, AKC registered, and the other half Collie). They are very, very gentle and friendly dogs. My baby regularly crawls around in the floor with the purebred, pulls his ears, etc, and there is no problem. He watches out for my son, and treats him like a member of the pack, which is what we all are to him. His pack (family). The other dog is an outside dog most of the time, but he is also fine around the baby. Both of the Huskies are better with him my Jack Russell is. Don't judge them by their looks. They are great dogs.

My point exactly. This cat was half wild. They are predators.

A cat can bite you if it's protecting its offspring, but it's not just going to start latching on to people and ripping off their testicles for being in the wrong place.
Why do these idiots own guns and fire them off in the city anyway?

Yeah I figure you're basically starting from square one in trying to domesticate such an animal. Not impossible but it would take many generations to breed out the predatory instincts again.

Because their neighborhoods are dangerous as shit.

I wonder how the "African" American community responded when spotting this creature. It's not quite an elusive woodland being or something, it's present in most of that entire fucking continent. The South Africans hunted this to extinction so anyone commonplace should know a little bit about the animal. If people on social programs have iphone4's and shit take a photo and fucking google.
As far as being dangerous, 90% of the serval's prey weighs less than 200 g (7 oz).

Not all black people have been to africa, although the shoot first, ask questions later isn't really recommended by me either. It seems they didn't even ask questions afterwards

I don't see how it's really relevant whether the people in that area were mostly black or not. Do wandering pets never get shot in white areas? The difference is that it's barely news when some chicken farmer shoots a neighbor's dog for coming onto their property.

Yeah I mean it's unfortunate for the animal, but it's really only the exotic pet aspect (and I guess the urban setting) that makes the story news.
