Protective rooster?

Hi fellas;

I need help on how to stop a cat from getting it's paws on my birds...
In the past few weeks a cat had started to prey on my keets, squabs and few months old chicks, and There is nothing left for the cat to eat and it had got interested in my ducks.... I definitely don't want that piece of filth to touch my poor ducks, BUT I do have a ROOSTER!! So my question is will my rooster kick the guts out of the cat next time? Even though my rooster's spurs aren't fully grown yet.
In my opinion, having a rooster to deal with that cat is better than having me to do it myself.... Since that cat won't be happy at all if I trapped it, I already have plans for it.

My birds free range... During the daytime from 10am in the morning to 5pm, they free range around the garden.
But let's not forget the main question....

Re: Protective rooster?

If they free range that's your own choice. You know the risks. You have no right to kill somebody's pet! And if it isn't a pet, get it picked up by a shelter. Stop being such a stupid ****.

He certainly does but he does not have the right to kill someones pet to do so, certainly seeing as there are other options.

Re: Protective rooster?

Protect with a large enclosure. Not to kill somebody else's animal. If you have free ranging birds it is your job to have preventative measures in place for predators.
What's he going to do when another cat comes along? And another?
Stop being an inconsiderate little gobshite and try other options first.

How do you expect someone to control a cat that goes outside?

If the owner was made aware of what the cat was doing then they would at least be able to attempt to take preventative (sp?) measures.

Do you honestly believe this cat should be brutally killed because its doing what comes naturally and when there are much better options?
