We are disappointed and astounded to report that the Canton City Council voted to renew the contract of a private animal control service for two years, despite opposition from local citizens and continuing controversy over mistreatment of animals by the contractor.
Before the city council’s vote, at least 16 citizens spoke out against renewing the contract, and none spoke out in favor of it.
Alley Cat Allies will hold a Town Hall meeting on Wednesday, March 14 from 6 to 7:30 p.m. in the McKinley Room of the Stark County District Library (715 Market Ave. N, Canton.), where we will present a plan to help the city effectively and humanely control the city’s stray and feral cat population.
