Classy story title, Gehrke. (rolls eyes)

"A House committee neutered Utah’s “feral cat” bill Wednesday, concerned the proposal to allow the shooting of feral animals could open the door to “joykilling.”

Instead, the bill approved by House Judiciary Committee eliminated all references to feral animals and left Oda’s bill allowing people to shoot an animal in order to protect against “injury or death.”
