Cat People vs. Bird People: It's Getting Ugly

From the NY TImes, a story about a veteran birder who shot a cat that he says was endangering some wild plovers. His story: the cat was feral, so there's no crime. The state's story: a bridgetender had been feeding the cat, so even though the cat lived under the bridge, it wasn't feral, and killing a pet is against the law. It's going to a jury.
