10,000 Birds

SEPTEMBER 17, 2013

The other day, Minneapolis, Minnesota passed a feral cat ordinance. So I put together a “carnival” (of sorts) of Feral Cat Ordinances and Issues that samples current events across the US. From the Star Tribune : Feral cats win a round at Minneapolis City Hall. This got me wondering what other cities were doing.

More than 60,000 cats were killed in Illinois animal pounds and shelters in 2006. That’s 5,000 cats killed every month, and 160 each day. Illinois is one of the few states with laws already requiring pounds and shelters to report the fate of animals in their custody. Tags: feral cats. Things don't look too good.
