Treating cats like . . . dogs?-Cleveland, OH

The city wants to treat stray cats the same as stray dogs: as nuisances.

So, under a plan being pitched by Mayor Frank Jackson to City Council, stray cats would be trapped and taken to the city kennel. If unidentified and unclaimed for three days, they would be killed, just as stray dogs are. Cleveland would be the first city in Cuyahoga County to actively pick up stray cats. Akron began a stray cat program in 2002.

Aside from the fact that Cleveland doesn't have a million dollars to spend...

that's just plain atrocious.

I know I didn't vote for him! I'm definitely forwarding this along to everyone I know up north.

I heard about this... like Julie said, Cleveland doesn't have 1 mill to spend on this, we have a lot bigger problems to worry about, like the closing of police stations in high-crime neighborhoods Jackson is a dolt.... it might be cheaper in the long run to catch the cats, neuter/spay them and re-release, but then again that makes sense

OH believe me, I heard about this too...............
