Shooting w pellet guns is very bad. A pellet gun often times is not enough to kill it. It only leaves big nasty infected sores on them. They are in a lot of pain and die a slow death that way. Our neighbor had a stray tom cat that was hanging around, trying to sneak up and eat his dog's feed. I fed the cat when it showed up at my house off and on. I noticed that the cat had patches of fur falling out and sore looking places, I suspected some kind of skin parasite or mange or? I told my kids not to pet it. Well one day someone told me that that neighbor had been shooting the cat w a pellet gun,bb gun? of some kind trying to scare it off from it's dog feed. That poor cat was around here for MONTHS with these open oozing sores. I felt so bad for it, but had no idea what it was for so long. After that, I guess it didn't matter because I couldn't catch it anyway. I felt really bad for him. He came over here and slept on our porch. He was only trying to find something to eat because he was hungry. I would have not had a problem at all if the neighbor had just outright killed it, but the pellet gun thing was so cruel and uncalled for.
