I was shocked to read this story about the town of Pincher Creek in Alberta, Canada, where a woman is being practically driven out of the town because she’s a cat lover. I just can’t fathom where the other cat lovers in this town are?

The article tells the story of Val Allen, who’s lost four cats in the space of two years to her neighbors who seem to be in the habit of trapping cats for all the wrong reasons… In fact, one of her cats was shot, and another poisoned, apparently while playing supervised in her backyard.

Now, you have psycho neighbors in all sorts of towns, but the amazing thing about Pincher Creek is that they seem to receive the support of the local authorities. The town’s Mayor apparently feels that cats take away from the quality of life and are nothing more than pests. Apparently, instead of working towards keeping cats indoors-only, he prefers to let the neighborhood thugs take the law into their hands!

Read the story here and remember to warn people of Pincher Creek - one town I will definitely stay away from!
