Laura Kelsey photo Text By Joan Silver - 100 Mile House Free Press Updated: August 12, 2009 1:08 PM The mayor of 100 Mile House cast the deciding vote to capture and euthanize a number of feral cats in the Scott Road area. Council met Aug. 11 and reviewed two options to deal with the approximately 50 to 100 cats that are disturbing residents. One option, favoured by councillors Bill Hadden and Dave Mingo, was to trap the cats, spay or neuter them and release them back into the community. Councillors Jeanne Best and Mel Torgerson were in favour of trapping the cats and euthanizing them. Mayor Mitch Campsall's deciding vote was in favour of euthanizing. Campsall said council has been getting a lot of complaints that people can't go out in their yards for all the cats spraying, yelling and fighting; residents can't sleep because of the screeching and the cats are ruining peoples' cars, boats and furniture. The plan will be well advertised so cat owners can keep their own pets inside or have them wear a collar to distinguish them from the feral cats. http://www.bclocalnews.com/bc_cariboo/100milefreepress/news/100_Mile_to_euthanize_feral_cats.html Partager ce message Lien à poster Partager sur d’autres sites
