It won't be pellet, he's using .22lr. If the rounds are subsonic there is not much you can do because with a surpressor it makes no noise beyond the round impacting the animal. I would make sure you put a strong lock on your gates and keep cats/dog indoors unless supervised. You can't go after the guy because he is going around in public armed and killing to feed some form of sadism so he might react violently if you catch him. It sucks but you should just make sure your's are safe until the guy slips up and gets caught by someone else.

One of the people dug out a .25 pellet from an airgun.

>>5093575
.25 makes more sense if point blank. Is this the states or Europe?

>>5093574
I'm considering trail cams around my fences and home. This person is cutting locks and chains anyway, so it's hard to simply lock your gate. We purchased our property because it has an acre yard for the dog, but I'll gladly go out with her every time if it means keeping her safe. Maybe just sit there on my flatbed trailer with my rifle next to me.

I'm convinced, considering some of these cats appear to be shot at night, that he's also utilizing some sort of night vision or thermals as well.

In the US.

That's fucking weird then. If he has acess to .22lr and .25 I imagine it would be far more practical and cheaper to stick to .22lr because unless he has an expensive high bar air rifle there is no real reason to use .25 beyond felony conviction preventing full firearm acess.

>>5093580
Maybe for the fun or sport of it? I'm not sure.

>>5093578
I'd say get a better lock, but if it's chainlink he'll just cut that. 6-8' block walls with no sight line into the back yard seem like the way to go at this point. If he's luring them off the property to avoid making noise, I doubt he's the type to climb a wall and shoot them. It sounds like he's avoiding cameras as-is.

Counter snipe him with thermals and a .22. What's he going to do, call the cops?

>>5093586
What if he can afford gen 4s and you stuck with gen 3s?

>>5093586
Start patrolling town with a few thermal camera drones at night to catch him in the act. Once you ID his vehicle and residence, it's all over. Rural farmers would simply torch his home and shoot him if he exits.

>>5093569
Buy a ghille suit, NODS and a .25 cal airgun. Set up a bait station with stray cats.

Do the needful

>>5093583
This + cameras for every inch of the property.

Gut him open when you find him please and thank you

>>5093600
This

>>5093600
This, or if you have a dog just camp near your gate with your ghillie suit on and your dog. He has to get close to get your dog while he shoots cats from a distance

Take them out ASAP

You need to get law enforcement onto this dude, if they're cutting locks to access and murder people's pets it's probably not long until they graduate to murdering people, if they haven't already.

>>5097190
The cops don't care in my country unless it's murder of a human or rape.

>>5097207
>they won't care about frequent breaking and entering
larp thread

>>5097260
It was obvious from the OP

People who hurt cats for fun should be killed it’s too dangerous for society to have these insane people around

>>5093569
>>will open your gate to let the dog out
I think it's more likely that people are failing to contain their pets, are lying about the animal being secure, and then people are shooting said animals when they show up on someone else's property. They might tell the cops the dog was secure and couldn't/doesn't get out, but that's probably a line of bullshit. It just doesn't make sense. One or more people shooting random animals that got out makes sense, but someone letting pets out only to shoot them afterward is a really strange story. Even a psycho who murders pets in people's yards/homes makes more sense than that. Is there video of this happening, or is it something that someone made up? Maybe these are unrelated events, where people are breaking in to steal, pets get out accidentally in the process, and then they end up dead?

no difference killing them and killing other pests
