79 year old woman going to jail...her crime

What am I doing?

We have silly law that is putting old woman in jail because she was feeding stray cats?

Is this what out society has come too?

Are you really this unaware of “animal hoarders” and the horrific outcomes that result?

This is only harming the cats in the long run as the breed unchecked without the care domesticated animals actually need.

conan:

Who was she harming?

Who created such petty laws anyway?

I don’t really know why cities would have such laws. I guess cause they think stray animals carry disease ?

She 79 years old…the cats give her pleasure, companionship.

Can’t you at least agree we become a nation. a society of too many laws?

What purpose that this law have?

What’s next…outlaw bird feeders?

I assume he put this in politics because democrats are running that city… So Dems made law… Old cat lady broke law… Cat lady goes to jail… Democrats are bad… Lolol

Take this hot mess to the forum that shall not be named …lol

Is agree jail is wrong, but your proclamation of “who was she hurting” is hopelessly naive.

conan · 2019-08-02T22:03:14.799Z

Is it not about politics? How petty our laws whether it is local. state or federal have become to put this woman in jail for being compassionate.

Tell me about rat infestation in Baltimore… oh wait, animal infestations only matter when?

conan · 2019-08-02T22:04:13.837Z

Why? Does this discussion make you uncomfortable?

AynRand · 2019-08-02T22:06:31.677Z

She didn’t go to jail. Her 10-day jail sentence was suspended.

Brian Setzer is smiling…

conan · 2019-08-02T22:09:07.056Z

OK…so why have laws in the first place?

bluedogdem · 2019-08-02T22:09:37.260Z

Moral of the story don’t break the law

AynRand · 2019-08-02T22:10:51.050Z

I don’t do philosophy.

She didn’t go to jail. Your discussion title indicates that you thought she did.

We can feed, house, provide healthcare for illegal immigrants but don’t you dare feed a stray cat.

Please Don't Feed Stray Cats!

BUT FEEDING STRAY CATS HURTS THEM. Absolutely. I’ve seen dozens of horrific cases of diseased and malnourished packs of stray cats as a result of people leaving out food for them. This is because feeding causes a bunch of cats to get together, and dependent on human feeding, and they breed like crazy, and then you’ve got a lot of cats in one small area, they fight, they spread disease between each other, and the population grows too large to feed, and heaven help them when the overwhelmed human stops feeding them, they all starve even worse. It seems like every person who gets involved in heavy stray cat feeding regrets it - at least, I see the worst of it all the time.

Laws against creating infestations of feral animals? Is that a serious question?
