The cat activists made that case quite nicely. So, why go after dogs again? How about scratching the entire mess of Chapter 209 and draft something which addresses the cat problem? Set aside money for a TNR fund for rescues and feral colony care takers and quit hounding the dogs! Nuisance animals must be dealt with though, regardless if it’s a dog or a cat.

Mullin and Broomell are irresponsible for excluding cats from an animal control regulation. There has been an outbreak of rabies due to cats roaming the street and going in and out of a restaurant in Port Deposit. If preventing a foreseeable crisis is irresponsible; is the failure to prevent a repetition a rabies outbreak an act of insanity? Or, is Broomell just that narrow minded, mean and vindictive against people who oppose unworkable regulation proposed by her allies?

Lots of poor spelling and grammar and no logical train of thought in there, but she just attacks people who disagree with her.

I believe the veterinarians who spoke at the hearing– four years of college plus four years of vet school– know a lot more about this issue and are much more “educated” than Venesa. Cats running loose and wild are a danger to public health and the safety of our citizens. TNR is a dangerous joke.
