Re: Wrongful death of cat

Great Suggestions, she definately needs to bring someones attention to this. I think if someone said I HAD to surrender any of my cats....I would grab the cat and run...now that poses a pretty funny picture in my mind ;-))

Three suggestions: Report the matter to the state vet association--not the
local one. Contact the Texas version of the Attorney General's Office
Comsumer Protection Division (cats are property in most places-----ok we
know better but the law doesn't). Find out who, in the local media, is a
pet lover and have a long conversation with him/her/them. Investigative
reporters and let me help reporters/columists can be a lot of help in
alerting the general public.

her with advice I'll get her email address.
