About 1968 I was asked by the local council to shoot wild cats that had invaded the edge of town after a large forest fire. All residents were advised in writing to have all pets locked inside by 8pm and I began shooting ( Ruger 10/22 and spotlight) at 9.30pm, having free reign through people's back yards. I shot about 200 over a couple of weeks, and my best area was the local cemetery. No pets were shot and everyone was happy. I can't see that being a popular option today!
