Carma Can't Be The Fall Back For A Lack Of Animal Control

The local chapter of Cat Rescue Maritimes sounding the alarm about the lack of animal control services after the death of a cat last week.
Carma providing help to a man with a cat likely hit by a car bleeding on his porch all day before Pumpkin the cat was taken to a vet to be euthanized.

Stephanie Godin tells CHSJ News they can't be the fall back position for the city when they have no animal control plan.

She says this can't happen because they do not have the funding for it but, she doesn't want to see what happened to Pumpkin continue to take place.

Godin says she sent pictures of Pumpkin the Cat to all the common councillors and only one responded and Godin adds that person didn't offer anything helpful.


Animal control is currently being handled by the City's by-law enforcement office after their contract with SPCA Animal Rescue League ended March 1st.
