Morris-Turnberry council is considering giving their animal control officer the licence to kill any cat that is off their “own” property. There is zero accountability, no attempt will be made to find the animal’s caretaker, and the execution method and disposal site is at the discretion of the animal control officer.
All the animal control officer has to say is he thought the cat might of looked sick, and fluffy is maggot ridden in a ditch somewhere with a crushed skull.
There will be no photo of the murder victim. There will be no public notice of the execution so the grieving taxpayers can claim the body of the victim and dispose of the remains in a dignified fashion.
