Cat will be shot

Surely its nicer to the cat to just leave it food and let it live in the tree like a hermit?

Blast it out with a firehose.

I heard they tried.

Fire will get it down.

Couldn't they just shoot a tranq dart at it and wait for it to fall out. Put some nets or padding under the tree and just let it fall out!

Probably the better solution, but I guess shooting it will be cheaper.

Gotta train snipers somehow.

You just need some guy with a slug gun and the balls to do it. It doesn't take all that effort to shoot it.

Any volunteers?

Since I don't live down there, I guess I can't.

This wouldnt have happened if they just kept cats in jars like they should do.

I feel bad for the cat. I'd go down the tranquilizer path personally.

fuck traquilisers, cut the tree down.

well if the cat can survive up there, I suggest making it into a tourist attraction. There's nothing wrong with exploiting nature for profit.

I'll get yer cat down for ya.



Its the american way!

Eventually it'll faint from hunger and fall down all on it's own.

Lol, just leave it alone up there, it can't be making that much noise.

I bet Chiang would love to shoot it.

After many attempts (including the fire brigade) a local artist climbed the tree and rescued the animal. It wasnt difficult. Some people just dont know how to deal with cats

Only if it's legal to do. I'd kill it twice before it hits the ground.

from what i remember of small bore shooting you weren't the best...

yes, with a marmite sandwhich! :hilarious:

Shooting that cat would be simple. It'll just be like shooting a possum.

Well, firstly you can only kill something once. Secondly that implied you'd shoot it twice, and assuming you weren't using an automatic weapon that second shot would be while it was falling. Have you ever shot at a moving target? Tis quite hard

*sigh* another thread has been Chiang'd. :chiang:

Guess it was partly my fault too :unsure:

I've shot a possum before, while it was moving between branches. The point is, it won't be hard shooting that cat.

i say we should put this to the test...while it is cruelty to animals we could get a stuffed teddy in a tree and see if hitler can shoot it twice before it hits the ground...of course giving hitler a gun with other people around isnt the best idea...

Shut it, Craig! I can outshoot you even if I'm drunk and the barrel is crooked.

Somehow I don't want to find out whether that assertion is true. As a substitute I say we get both these guys drunk and set up a paintball duel somewhere.

I'll own you at any shooting contest, Chiang. I shot a hundred running Cong back at Khe Sanh, during the Tet Offensive and at Hill 343.

Jesus, I shot down a Cong Soviet chopper who was flying above us on the Sixth of November 1970, after he wiped out half my platoon during us doing a routine sweep 60 miles out from the DMZ ... Jimbob went down, so did Bubba ..... We had to kill a hundred Cong to get out .... A HUNDRED MORE CONG!

Hauser > Chiang for military awesomeness

I bet Chiang's never shot at a moving target in his life

^^ love the necrophiliac double entendre

I've shot rabbits before.

I shot all over your mum's back.

Chiang, not sure if you've noticed before, but we're not currently at war. I know it's disappointing, but there's no point in your bravado. Besides, if we were at war I'd be laughing at you being a grunt, whereas I'd be sitting far behind the frontline in an intelligence tent. Multilingualism for the win.

I am fully aware that our country is safe from foreign aggression and only a fool will find that disappointing. What bravado? Referring to the question of that damn cat, I would happily shoot it if it's legal and I have to chance to do so.

It would be a sad error in judgement to turn me into a grunt. Diggers are those that do not have the intelligence or education to be officers. By the time I graduate, my BE will surely be wasted if I get positioned as a grunt. I rather be an officer, preferably in the corps of logistics or engineering.

You're not the only one here who is bilingual.

I have English, some French and the stumbling beginnings of Mandarin. Tune in later for Vietnamese and Korean.

Chiang, you're far too easy to bait. At the end of the day near none of us would be near the frontline. We can all use PCs --> Intel, logistics, engineering etc etc.

R&D for all us physics students :D

I'll be writing propaganda, and blogging in my spare time about how it's all America's fault.

More engineers are hired for R&D than the physicists. There's always a frontline, and it gets closer to the HQ as we speak. With high speed and stealth aircraft, the new front line would be the support infrastructures as the empower the forces in the field.

The classical frontline is still in existence as occupation and counter insurgency is ultimately a man's job. You can employ tanks to spearhead into a town but street-by-street will always be grunt work. Unless the target is so worthless that it deserves to be flattened by intensive bombardment.

Exploit religious words and quote things out off context. These are classic methods of the propagandist. Whether atheist or not, if a cause is portrayed as a sacred duty, flocks shall follow. This has been used from the Bolsheviks to the Nazis and Bush.

I have built a degree on that strategy.

I'm not kidding about the possibility of an omnipresent global frontline:

You're looking at the ultimate UCAV (unmanned aerial combat vehicle).
