Cats get off lightly by having an injection - most other animals are culled with rifles or shotguns.

You've not been following the news in the UK then, where they are wanting to revamp the gun laws to include air pistols and air rifles now, after some high up person got their cat shot by an air rifle pellet. Apparently, according to the RSPCA, dozens of cats a year are killed and even more injured seriously by people taking pot shots with air rifles... and it's not confined to the young and foolish either!
