Quote From: westonstephI just finished watching the show. Yes, 200 cats are ALOT, but this woman lives on 10 acres! She must live in the country , so who is to say what she can or can not have on her property! The show did not say how close her neighbors are next to her, but I can not imagine with that amount of property they are right next to her home.
I feel she is doing the right thing rescuing cats, getting them fixed and all the shots ( I assume she also cks them for feline lukemia). She must be spending alot of money on this cause of saving cats and I comende her on this.
I feel there is a deeper motive in this neighbor attack, as it seems to go on a personal level with the one gentlemen and the other gentleman seems to have gotton on the bandwagon as he is not happy with the situation either. These 2 neighbors seem to be wanting to move her out.......I could see this if they lived in town and in a suburb neighborhood, but this is on a large property!
I guess what makes me upset about this is that;
#1She is trying to help animals in a right way and she is getting pushed by bullies
#2She lives on 10 acres in the (country?) and someone is telling her what she can and can not have. If you live in the country and own your own property, no one has the right to tell you to move you junk car , so why should someone tell her how many pets she should have (being only 4)?
One more thing, Dr. Phil and others were saying she should save the pets, fix them up and adopt them all out. Well I am sure alot of these cats are feral or have problems of some sort that alot of people wanting a house cat would not want to adopt. This may be why she has alot of them with her. Although I am sure she is attached to each and every one of them, but it does seem like she tries to find homes for them. But you must remember it is HARD to find good homes for cats. NOt exactly alot of waiting lists going around for cats.
One acre is about 75% as large as a football field. Imagine 20 cats "roaming" an area 3/4ths the size of a football field. Doesn't seem so spacious now, does it?
