Almost every day, stories come in to us from around the country about neutered, eartipped feral cats who have been trapped and killed by animal control. Today residents can speak up to help prevent this from happening to eartipped cats in of Prince George’s County, MD.
Last week, County Councilmember Mary Lehman introduced an important bill designed to keep eartipped cats from being impounded in the county pound simply for being at-large. Under this law, eartipped cats trapped by animal control will instead be returned to their home outdoors. Or, if the site where they were trapped is unknown, cat organizations will be able to rescue them.
The bill has been referred to the Transportation Committee, which is holding a hearing this Thursday, June 14. Contact your council members today to ask them to support this bill.
Then, show your support by attending the meeting:
