Town Passes Stray Cat Ownership Law

The town passed this ordinance slanting it as a good thing. If one reads the entire cat (and dog)ordinance of Vernon (read it yourself on http://www.vernontwp. com/township/departments/- clerk/ordinance-06-23. html), this was just a bandaid over a horrible existing ordinance that gives the township alot of reason to legally dispose of animals when it wants to. This portion of the ordinance was passed to pave the way for legal mass-murders (my words and opinion) because an animal tested positive for rabies from which I understand the head of animals control wouldn't flinch from executing a mass ongoing execution if he had to. Such is the fear of rabies. Please people, one thing officials don't tell you is that rabies generally stays dormant for six months. In its dormant state if the animal bites someone, another animal/human CANNOT contract rabies. If it is active and bites you it can pass on rabies but the animal will be dead in a week. In most cases if the animal is alive after a week, it DID NOT have rabies. So in many cases animals can be killed for no reason (or should I say for being too careful.) (This tendency to be "too careful" is in my opinion the catalyst for a lot of wrongs done in our society.) Animals have as much right to live as humans do, and this whole Vernon ordinance stinks big time. This town also won't allow TNR (Trap Neuter and Return) to solve a stray/feral cat population by the way).
