    please help! PA residents only....

    http://capwiz.com/alleycat/issues/al...nal_id=10519.0


    The town I live in, Monessen, PA, has started a policy of trapping and destroying stray/feral cats. They hired a company that I was unable to locate anywhere on-line, nor had my local vet or humane society ever heard of. He has been placing traps without permission in the yards of residents and there was no notice at all given to the residents so they could keep their pets indoors. The trapped cats are being taken to a kill shelter and destroyed...not scanned...not held for any time...nothing....DESTROYED! Please help if you live in PA, or if you have friends/family in PA, please spread the word...the furrballs of Monessen thank you....

    That's horrible.

    It's also ineffective. Trap/kill does NOT control feral cat colonies.
    I meant," said Ipslore bitterly, "what is there in this world that truly makes living worthwhile?"
    Death thought about it.
    CATS, he said eventually. CATS ARE NICE.

    Notify the media, TV and newspaper, and post it on your FB page -- fastest way to get the word out!

    Edit: I just put it on my FB page -- but I don't know anyone in Monessen, and only a few folks in PA.

    I'm in PA (I'm now ashamed to say) but no where near this town. It is unconscionable - but it's what happens when there's a 'good ol' boy' network; they do whatever they want with no one's leave.
