She's old and senile. She is from an era where they shot strays and shot animals that were ill or crippled. Heck, I still know people out in the country that still do that, and, they're not old and senile, it's just the way they handle strays. I don't agree with it, but, it's the way of life in some parts, still. I don't know for sure, obviously, if she was being truthful, but, she did say that she didn't know the stuff was going to kill the cats. Maybe she thought she'd just give the neighbor another warning by making the cats really sick, as she'd already called the authorities. I am totally against poisoning cats, that should go without saying, but, I'm more pissed off that this neighbor didn't heed her initial action and keep his pets inside.
