Cat poop or wild animal droppings? Warning; pile picture!

But as soon as I see a cat hunting in the fields, there will be a bang..

we are more or less in agreement there. and the cat owners are usually more disturbed and can’t believe that their dear tiger also kills little rabbits.

Steven

we are not in hunting law here.

I did not claim that either.

only applicable against humans and not against things.

That is why I referred to necessity §34. Above you wrote that self-defense does not have to be proportionate. That is not true. See excessive self-defense. Also, not every self-defense is a justified defense.

Only why does one have to defend oneself against a cat or another animal? Animal feces is annoying, nothing more. Dogs, yes, they can snap sometimes – which they rarely do, and all other creatures usually disappear when they see humans. The marten is the expensive one.

Knallkörper has ultimately already explained it. Killing or injuring is not allowed. As long as the animal does not attack you directly.

That a hunter shoots a pet that is "hunting" in the field area ... ok. Even if I don't agree with it. But please only the hunter responsible for the area!

Game birds killed: Exactly 3 so far. The first was a titmouse that got lost in our apartment. The second was a fat finch that was so eager for the worms I had dug up that it did not notice our cat (but I was able to rescue it afterward). The third was a very sickly looking bird. Since, to my knowledge, they first drag every prey onto my terrace, the number should have remained at that. Our cats (all 3 healthy, agile young animals) have no chance to catch a healthy bird. I am not even talking about careless young birds, but even then my cats have had no success so far. On the other hand, they bring home an average of 2 mice/rats a day. The neighbor’s tomcat once caught a baby rabbit.

Firecrackers probably often catch feral cats. At least then it is merciful. Better professionally shot than to die painfully of starvation or from an injury or illness.

There were no rabbits yet. I believe the meadows are too intensively farmed and the settlement too dense in our area. I have not seen any in my Katzingers' territory.
