The house cat is one of the worst menaces to the increase of game birds and small game animals in Wisconsin, according to W. B. Grange, superintendent of game for the State Conservation Commission, who recently revealed that cats were responsible for the death of at least three-fourths of the pheasants killed in the State by predatory animals. He blames the situation upon the kind-hearted humans, who rather than drown excess kittens, turn them loose in the woods, where they become wild and dangerous. He proposes licensing of cats, and the killing of those found stalking game in the forests.
