Previous story – more info
now then when first wrote |
Feral Cat
problem --- fuels neighbourhood dispute |
|
Problem
seemed ‘simple’ enough – feral cats defecating etc in/ around these parked
sports vehicles --- SPCA allegedly told owner he could trap – then make sure
not just strays – then euthanize etc --- But from there it escalated to the
RCMP laying Criminal Charges for (??) threatening to kill cats --- then City
told him formally another neighbour had complained about his wood stacked on
City property and he must remove wood immediately |
|
|
Presumably
this neighbour feeding the feral cats and originating the complaints (I am
told) |
|
The
undeveloped lane that used to access back of the property is also in dispute Here
the stairs look to be on City Property of undeveloped land – and appears to
be the only entrance to house The
stacked wood is on undeveloped lane/ sewer line right of way (yellow on map
above) |
|
|
So why is
the City getting involved in this? |
|
The
Feral Cat problem was not addressed last September (put off as too
contentious) (Here
is Jay’s Report on cat/dog
issue from that time –PDF on City site) --- leaving to local ‘wars’ with
RCMP/ Bylaw officers being drawn in as foils to harm the person who dares
complain Meanwhile
one of the families kids spent four days sick – doctor finally figured out it
was reaction to the feral cat stink/ spraying/ defecating --- I
am told a Public Health officer has ordered the feral cats removed -- |
|
|
Further irony
|
|
The
person who allegedly ‘complained’ about the wood that was on City property –
well behind their place is the remains of a previous roof that was thrown
there rather than taking out to dump (yes there were witnesses) |
