Starving strays is wrong and fines to people who care is unjustShawna Tooke (Lasalle, 2023-06-13)

Feeding feral cats should not be illegal when they are fixed and properly cared for. It keeps them out of garbage and probably healthier than if they were left on their own.Ruth Rotulo (Lasalle, 2023-06-13)

These poor animals need help too. If people are kind enough to feed him so be it.Karen Gilhuly (Windsor, 2023-06-13)

Uncaring people are the reason there is a feral cat problem. These cats live terrible, often short lives. Feeding neighbourhood cats is not a crime - it is compassion - something that LaSalle town council is hugely lacking.Natalie Sinn (Essex, 2023-06-13)

Starving feral and stray cats will not solve the over population issues.Fining caregivers (who are not the problem)
Is ineffective.

I’m signing because how a community treats it’s most valuable shows a lot about their character and punishing people for helping vulnerable animals shows that your character is vile and sub human and you will be voted out!Tracey Hall (Windsor, 2023-06-13)

I'm signing because this is a feral but domesticated animal that needs human assistance to survive. They didn't put themselves outside. A human has stepped up and taken on a responsibly, Blocking the care of of feral cats because it doesn't fit with the wanted image is inhumane.Peggy Bastien (Windsor, 2023-06-13)

Be it 2 cats or a colony, TNR works & forcing empathetic responsible caregivers to starve COMMUNITY cats to a slow torturous death is just a cruel and inhumane way for haters to cull them. It's not costing anything to care for them. The caregivers pay for food, supply water and use on their own time keeping the cats localized to their territory and they are spayed/neutered. Town unjustified bylaw to destroy the proven best animal/cat control programs worldwide. Stop the madness!Linda Squire (Amherstburg, 2023-06-13)

Trap spay neuter vaccinating and then responsibly supporting these cats is the best way to reduce the issue of cat over population.The majority of the concerns come from attracting unwanted wildlife into urban areas. This happens for a multitude of reasons, not all of those reasons are related to feeding feral cats. That is the issue that should be addressed.
Fixed feral cats can be supported without attracting wildlife.

People caring for feral cats that had been microchipped, neutered, vaccinated should not be fined for doing so. They are doing the neighborhood, neighbors and community favors well as the cats.Sue Baxter (Windsor, on., 2023-06-14)

We need to take care of our animals and NOT punish and fine caring loving people who are.Paula Ghiloni (LaSalle, 2023-06-14)

I'm signing because cared for cats that arevspated, neutered, vaccinated have a right to be cared for. Not all can be brought into homes. A caring community of TNR will actuay reduce feral cat populations.Tania Mask (Windsor, 2023-06-15)

Bylaw outdated and unfair.Kerry Fuller (LaSalle, 2023-06-15)
#291
These animals don't have a home to go to or a warm place to sleep. The least we can do is supply food for them to survive. They aren't a menace to society, especially given the fact that they are TNR'd. This bylaw is completely unnecessary.Staci Harrison (Windsor, 2023-06-15)

people should not be punished for being kindNorma Weaver (Cottam, 2023-06-15)

We lived in LaSalle for 40 years before we downsized. It used to be a nice place to live. What happened, doesn't the mayor and council members have a heart anymore? You spend thousands protecting snakes and other species what’s wrong with helping cats? Thai proposal doesn't even have anything to do with raising the taxes.Edna Meloche (Amherstburg, 2023-06-15)
#295
I’m f the city doesn’t want to feed then then someone had to. Telling someone what they can do with their money and WHO or WHAT they want to feed is like saying the cats need to starve and THAT is illegal in Gods eye. I will feed whomever or whatever I want if they are in MY property and that fine will be given right back to you!!!Katia Paparone (Windsor, 2023-06-15)

Feral cats cause zero problems.Darlene Poirier (Windsor, 2023-06-15)
#301
It's ridiculous. If the animals are spayed and neutered there's no reason why we can't feed them they are not being a nuisance or repopulating the area. Have a heartMary Lemire (Windsor ont, 2023-06-15)

It’s the right thing to do!Danielle Gabrieau (Lasalle, 2023-06-15)
#303
These animals have already been neutered and microchipped, they're essentially someone's outdoor cat. All animals are deserving of food and shelter though, to deny them that is inhumane. Also having these stray cats around helps control pest populations.Eryk Titus (Windsor, 2023-06-15)
#304
It's cruel not to feed these cats.Tracey Rogers (Windsor, 2023-06-15)

This bylaw is absolutely ridiculous. Not a good way to encourage people to help with the feral cat program. Needs to be re-evaluated at the very least.Trisha Gillis (Lasalle, 2023-06-15)

Feral cat colonies keep rodent populations down. Without people doing TNR these animals would be euthanized just for existing. They are not cats that can live in a home.Nikki Palenkas (Windsor, 2023-06-15)
#314
It's wrong. As long as the cats are fixed, they reduce the rodent populations, snakes and other critters. They protect their own territory and don't breed. Whats the harm, i don't see how its anyone's business what we do as long as it doesn't hurt anyone or anything.Sarah Maitland (Windsor, 2023-06-16)

#334
It’s a shame they are fining people who are involved with the trap and release program. The idea is to fix and let live. It’s unfortunate that Covid found many seeking love from animals but can no longer afford the. They are being dumped everywhere. Those that can help should be allowed to without the threat of a fine.Cindy Levesque (Windsor, 2023-06-16)

I feed the stray cats in my neighborhood. They’re all neutered so there’s no chance of kittens. They need to be fed and just getting them fixed doesn’t mean that they don’t have to eat.Yvonne Quinn-Chittle (Tecumseh, 2023-06-18)
#361
I disagree with funny individuals who feed feral cats as I feed one myself some of them are actually discarded by their owners, who just simply stopped caring for them, and I don’t feel that anyone should be fined for protecting these cell creatures. I totally disagree with people being fined for being kind And I support this petition for the above reasons. Sincerely, James Smith.Smith James (Qundsor, 2023-06-18)

These Cats didn't chose to be feral, it's morons that refuse to get theirs fixed. Think of it this way- you'll never have the issue with Rodents that Windsor has!John Dore (South Buxton, 2023-06-19)

I think it is outrageous to fine people to help an animal. An animal that didnt ask to be born or abandoned to the elements. An animal that helps in rodent control as well.Marlene Patterson (Windsor, 2023-06-20)

I believe in the welfare of all animals and strays are no different, they are living breathing creatures that have a right to be here just like we do, and most strays/feel situations are due to human neglect, totally support this cause!!Kelly Waldron (Windsor, 2023-06-22)

Not feed a hungry animal. Just ridiculous. Let’s have some common senseMary Brownlie (Amherstburg, 2023-06-28)
#381
I’m confused. If you’re caught being inhumane or cruel to animals it’s an offence and you can be charged. No one should be fined for making sure that an animal does not suffer. I feed 2 TNR cats and they are microchipped and are now considered mine. No one can tell me not to feed my own cats. It’s feeding these stray cats that help you to trap them n get them fixed. We are never going to solve our stray cat problem by ignoring them and leaving them to get sick, suffer, spread disease and die.Doreen Lauriault (Tecumseh, 2023-07-03)
