When you and your cats get bit by snakes, you'll know it's only because you killed the skunks, who would have eaten those snakes. When you get stung by a wasp next spring, it will also be because you killed the skunks, who would have gladly taken care of any wasp nests over the winter months and into the spring before the wasps reproduced. When your flower beds are taken over by bag worms, aphids, and slugs, you'll get to look back and smile at the fact that you killed one of the only animals on the planet that would have solved that problem for you too. And when your cats decide to try the chicken and dumplings and get caught in that same sort of trap in someone else's yard, then the cat gets shot, because that person happens to think that stray cats are just as bad as skunks, I'm sure you won't fault them for it, because after all, you'll both be on the same level when it comes to killing creatures for absolutely no good reason. God forbid you actually MOVE your cat food into a barn or shed where wild animals can't get it, or heaven forbid move the cat food to a whole two feet off the ground where skunks can't climb to get into it, but cats can. I'm sure killing living things is much more reasonable than raising a dish off the ground.
