Some of you have already met Da Tabbies O Trout Towne. Those who haven't are in for a special treat. We suggest you grab a cup of nip tea and head over to Mousebreath to read Trout Talkin Tabbies ... Boomer, Dai$y, Sauce & Tuna. We think you'll enjoy it.
And then you can stop by to visit Trout Towne for some mackerel hot off the grill. We're still laughing over their blog post on the interview.

We received an email from Toby Franks this morning and decided to share it with our readers, in case any of you are from or know someone from Barberton, Ohio.Barberton Feed Ban will be voted on Dec. 17 - Video from Fox 8 News
http://fox8.com/2012/12/13/cat-fight-feeding-pets-could-cost-you/
While most communties are moving away from arcane animal control
practices and embracing non-lethal methods, Barberton City Council plans
to fast-track a vote on a feeding ban on Monday, Dec.17, at 7:30 p.m.
in the Barberton City Council Chambers - 576 W. Park Ave., Barberton,
Ohio 44203
Barberton residents who feed an outside pet when it is dark can be
charged with a misdemeanor and fined $50 a day by one of four
enforcement agencies. One of the enforcers according to the ordinance is
Summit County Animal Control.
This feeding ban was passed in an open meeting of the subcommittee.
Carol Frey, chair of the subcommittee, said that there would be no
further discussion. Law Director Lisa O. Miller, wants one
reading rather than the normal three readings. Concerned Barberton
residents will not be able obtain clarifications or explanations.
Barberton residents should be able to provide care for their pets, feral
cats, or the occasional lost or stray pet. There should be three
readings so that citizens can be informed about the ordinance.
Please attend the City Council meeting on Monday Dec 17th. You can
speak for five minutes. If you cannot attend, please call Barberton City
Officials, send emails & faxes to express concerns, ask
questions and ask for more time to obtain clarifications and
explanations and to remove the punitive aspect of this ordinance.
A public record request showed that there were only 13 complaints
in all of Barberton in an entire year -- not all of them were about
feeding and not all of them were found to be valid. A complaint is
counted numerically even if it is called in anonymously and even if no
problem is found. An earlier version of this ordinance was unanimously
withdrawn by Barberton City Council in 2007 and by the Barberton Safety
Committee in 2010.
The President of Barberton City Council is Fred Maurer, and his email address is fmaurer@cityofbarberton.com

It seems like it is a constant battle to look out for our feral brothers and sisters and make sure they are treated right!
ReplyDeleteGreat interview with the Tabbies, BTW!
Oh noes we don't understand why there is such bad information about feeding ferals. WE truly don't.
ReplyDeleteGoing right over to read the interview.
Ferals already have a hard enough time without a non caring council making life harder for them.
