Background

The Pennsylvania Game Commission has threatened to fine participants in local Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs $100 per cat, and has halted at least one TNR project in the planning stage. The Game Commission, at their October 6 and 7, 2003, meeting will vote on a proposed rule which would make the release of domestic dogs or cats into the wild unlawful. If amended, the new rule threatens TNR programs across Pennsylvania.

Want to help the ferals, go to the action section and write a letter:

There's no place like home
I signed it. Just realized that I posted the same request on another thread. The sample letter that I posted goes directly to the govenor. Sorry for the overlap, but think this is important as it can set precidence in other states.

Information on the Pennsylvania Game Commission's Proposed Rulemaking Against Feral Cats
Update

On Monday, October 6, articulate Pennsylvanians made their case to the state game commission that outlawing Trap-Neuter-Return would be a huge mistake. Alley Cat Allies is pleased that common sense prevailed when the commissioners removed domestic cats and dogs from the rule before them.


When both sides were given an equal opportunity to tell their story, it became clear that Trap-Neuter-Return programs are the only effective way to reduce outdoor cat populations and that these programs are best run at the local level.


Alley Cat Allies commends the Pennsylvania Game Commission and congratulates Pennsylvaniaâ€[emoji]8482[/emoji]s feral cat advocates on setting a course communities nationwide can follow.


Alley Cat Allies will continue to consult with municipal animal control agencies, public officials, shelters, and organizations in Pennsylvania to implement spay/neuter programs for stray and feral cats
