Monessen Cat-trapping Draws Protest
Monessen policy of killing feral cats draws protest, about 35 people participated in the rally organized by the Coalition for a Humane Monessen to get council to consider alternatives to combat the city's feral cat problem. They protest the city ordinance that has resulted in the deaths of 34 feral cats. They bring signs says "Stop the killing," and "Save the cats".
The ordinance started when dozens of complaints from residents about stray cats, some of them injured and others damaging property. But some says that trapping the cats and taking them to animal shelters to be euthanized is inhumane, they also said that municipal council isn't being fair to cat owners. Now Mayor Mary Jo Smith and council decided that cat-trapping has been placed on hold until the city can find a shelter that will accept the animals.
