Discuss the effectiveness of using motion sprinklers to deter stray cats and mention how it is not okay for people to intentionally damage others' property. Also, mention that it is a behavioral issue that needs to be addressed by law enforcement.
Good grief!  Motion Sprinklers are a very effective way to keep stray cats out of the yard. I never thought about how it could be used to deter people.You can't talk common sense to a cat, however they know what they don't like (getting wet)but cats wouldn't take a golf club and try to end the life of a sprinkler or unhook a garden hose and throw it in the street. Yes  these people are homeless, mentally ill,  intoxicated  But it's NOT OK  to harass, bully and cause damage  Intentionally damaging other people's property  is criminal, mean and needs to be addressed by law enforcement. Doesn't matter if they are homeless or the  idiot Trump. This isn't really a City of Eugene political problem. It's a behavioral issue.. a societal concern that happens all over the Country and the world.  Setting standards for behavior? Well, that starts fairly early in life, not by putting it in a law, but by the circuit in the each human brain. It's  the difference between choosing right from wrong.
