Background:
The Pennsylvania Game Commission has threatened to fine participants in local
Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR) programs $100 per cat, and has halted at least one TNR
project in the planning stage. The Game Commission, at their October 6 and 7,
2003, meeting will vote on a proposed rule which would make the release of
domestic dogs or cats into the wild unlawful. If amended, the new rule threatens
TNR programs across Pennsylvania. Read the full text of the proposed change here
