******* IMPORTANT: CATS ARE GOING TO BE TRAPPED AND EVEN MURDERED BY LOCAL ANIMAL CONTROL DUE TO FELINE LEASH LAWS********
Hey, you see that cat? Heās mine, his name is Mocha, he and his two brothers are rescues. I love them to death, as does the rest of my family. But, apparently, all that Animal Control wantsĀ isĀ their death.
See, we have cat doors, so our furry friends come and go. Lots of families in the neighborhood do it; our cats are neutered, vaccinated, and friendly, so thereās no reason not to.
Now, let me ask a question: Do you keep your cats on leashes? Most people donāt. But my neighbor decided that all of the neighborhood cats were too annoying, so she called Animal Control to report that cats were ānot leashed.ā Apparently, yes, cats should be kept on leashes in yards, according to local regulations.
Sumner County Animal Control decided the best way to fix this is toĀ set traps for cats and send them to a shady kill shelter.Ā This isĀ outright dangerous in the summer heatĀ to leave cats trapped for hours at a time without water.Ā Trapped cats will be sent to this āshelterā and owners will not be notified, even if a cat is collared.Ā
The shelter charges a hundred dollars to retrieve a pet, and the Gallatin shelter isĀ knownĀ for bad conditions and putting animals to sleep before the standard wait time. To boot, they came and told us all of this in front of my five-year-old sister, who loves these cats more than anything. Sheās now in tears and inconsolable, and afraid that her best friend areĀ going to be trapped and murdered just for doing what cats do.
