Fisheries officials are em-
barassed by the use of an
airgun to extermimate a
family of cats living on
fisheries property at 4160
Marine Drive in West
Vancouver.

-The wild cats had been
inhabiting an abandoned

the cats with an airgun. The
rest of the animals then left
the building.

But one fisheries em-
ployee, who asked not to be

friend about the inhumane
treatment the cats had
received.

The friend phoned the
fisheries office in West
Vancouver to ask about the
shooting. Fisheries official
George Hunter refused to
give him any information but
asked him which employee
had told him about the cats.

The department
spokesman says they tried to
deal with the cats humanely,
by calling the Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to
Animals(SPCA), but the
SPCA said they couldn't do
anything, so a _ private
company had to be called.

But the SPCA says they
usually recommend B.C.
Pest Control Ltd., which
uses humane traps to get rid
of animals like cats.
