The one that has no public adoption program? The one that rescues in Toronto have been trying to save? (cats)?
The one that kills about 6,000 cats a year..... MORE than Toronto....
Well - they are reviewing their bylaws and ask for public input VERY SOON: Nov 17, 2009
One angry making item is that they propose:
*** BANNING FEEDING OF FERAL CATS: A prohibition against the feeding of wildlife (other than song birds, humming birds, etc.) due to the risk of wildlife becoming “habitualized” and a nuisance or threat.
In other words, they will punish anyone who feeds stray cats, much like what another place tried to:
WOW! Beverly Hills,Ca. wants to JAIL 65 year old woman for helping feral cats: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2BgXiBkgbzw YouTube Video !!!
*** PLEASE: Get involved. Speak for the animals. Now. ***
