YAY!! WE are all thrilled to find out that the cops did in fact decide that what my moms neighbor did was a "crime" and it is against the law to trap cats in town!!
I guess they had a talk with him and let him know that if it happens again he WILL be fined and cited!! This is such good news to hear!! And also my moms neighbor(that also has 2 cats) went to a board meeting and informed the community of the "evil" man and theres alot of people really mad now!! And he is also extremely MAD that hes not allowed to take care of cats the way he wants to.....he still says he should have the right to, and the cop explained to him that NO he doesnt have that right, that he needs to speak with the owners. So now I hope to goodness this monster has learned his lesson!!

Well which one?? He ended up killing 2 of the ones he trapped(Tigger w/poison, and Macy with a bullet)
We actually rescued her other cat Simba out of his trap before he had a chance to do anything to him.

Yay! I am soooo happy for you. Too bad he couldn't get fined for what he already did, but its good that the problem is now solved and cats will be saved from his 'justice'.

I have also learned that they just passed a law that now it is a felony for any form of animal cruelty
I hope they actually enforce it on people though, that would be great! And yes if he could get in trouble for doing what he already did, that would be great-but I assume they still dont have enough "proof".

Yay!!! I'm so happy for you and for your mom! I'm glad this was brought to his attention before he had another opportunity to hurt a cat, or any other animal for that matter. Congratulations on your victory!!!


RIP...Tigger & Macy, your lives have just saved many others!

Well actually, the two he trapped were my moms(Macy and Tigger) and he admitted to killing them, to someone who is afraid to say anything to the cops!
But yes if the cops had enough evidence then they would charge him, but since they cant "prove" it,they wont do anything!
