Hello everyone,
(Hope I don’t get banned right away for posting a bunch of crap…)
Some animal is leaving a pile of droppings on our lawn almost every night, strangely always in almost the same spot (plus or minus 2 m (6.5 ft)). At first, I suspected the neighbor’s cat, but the pile seems too large for a cat, right? Also, don’t cats usually go into garden beds rather than right in the middle of the lawn?
Question: Can anyone tell me if this could still be cat droppings? If so, I guess a conversation with the neighbors is due.
I’m getting tired of cleaning it up every morning, and even more worried that my kids might step in it while playing or that my son might try to taste it. My nephew once caught worms that way, which was quite unpleasant. That really shouldn’t happen.
And if it’s something else: what could it be and, above all, how do I get rid of it?
Barbed wire, spring-loaded traps, anti-aircraft guns, nuclear bomb?
Best regards,
Andreas

And what could it cost me if I kill the cat without having the right to do so? Section 17 of the Animal Protection Act: Up to 3 years imprisonment

The search was unlawful, without knowing the case. You probably mean "without cause".Hello Fuchur
Oh dear, but since we’re way off topic here, a very brief summary:
The legal owner of a Glock 17 legally purchased a selector lever for a Glock.
Search conducted. The judge wrote by hand on the warrant: "What would you want with a selector lever if you don’t plan to install it?"
6:00 a.m. The door was forced open inward. The dog attacked and was shot. The owner came out of the bedroom and asked what the matter was. After presenting the search warrant, the owner handed over the Glock and the lever (a laboratory inspection later confirmed that the lever was never installed). Then the search continued (which is why it was unlawful). Files were reviewed for hours. Apparently they wanted to find something extra to avoid looking so bad.

: The damage caused to the animal must not be disproportionate to the damage the animal causes. So, how much does a lawn damaged by feces and urine cost? How much does a cat from a shelter cost?

You’re not seriously talking about killing a cat here? That is a living being, and I’m shocked that such a thing is being written.
To contribute something constructive:
Film your garden first and find out where the pile is coming from. If it’s the neighbor’s cat, then talk to them and ask them to keep the cat indoors or remove it.
Otherwise, your only option is to spray it with water every time. Install motion sensors and water deterrents.

Have you ever seen a cat slowly playing a baby rabbit to death every day? Aren’t you shocked by that?
Or do you eat meat from factory farming, or do you only get it from your trusted hunter? If you only get it from a hunter, that’s fine. A pork tenderloin for 6.99 euros per kilogram (3.17 pounds) should make you think.
And I think, if you’re going to spray it with water, do it properly — with the garden hose and at full force. Otherwise, the cat will just laugh at you.
Furthermore: do you really believe the cat owner will install motion sensors and water traps in my garden at their own expense? I’ve certainly never heard of that. If you do that, hats off to you. Who even does that anymore?
