SAN DIEGO (KGTV) â A newly filed lawsuit alleges the San Diego Humane Society has a practice of releasing friendly, adoptable cats back into the streets.
When the San Diego Humane Society took over animal control services for San Diego and several other local cities in 2018, it was working with rescue groups to shelter neuter return.
A feral cat found outdoors was spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and released.
In late 2019, Humane Society CEO Gary Weitzman told reporting partner KPBS this policy did not apply to domesticated cats.

Maine lawmakers are weighing arguments about a resolution that would add a right to food to the state constitution.

During a hearing this week in Augusta, critics lambasted a proposed amendment that would add a “right to food” provision to the state constitution.
The Maine Veterinary Medical Association said the “overly broad” measure would open the door “to all manner of animal abuse and neglect in the name of food.”
It is so vague, the association said, that if it is adopted “one is left to wonder” about questions like, “Does this mean I can keep a cow in my Portland apartment? Can I slaughter pigs in my front yard?”
An anonymous call was made to police in San Antonio, Texas during the recent winter storm, informing them a tiger may need rescuing.
When they arrived, the Bexar County Sheriff’s Office found a six-month-old tigress. Wearing a harness and underfed, it was clear she was being kept as a pet, which is illegal in the county.
“When [deputies] came out on the scene, they found this beautiful young lady in temperatures that weren’t suitable for her, and actually in living conditions that weren’t suitable for her either,” says Sheriff Javier Salazar.
Her rescuers decided to name her Elsa, after the main character in the animated film Frozen .

The Germantown Sportsmen’s Association s upcoming Squirrel Scramble, scheduled for Feb. 27, is one of many gruesome wildlife killing contests taking place across our state (“Plea to drop squirrel hunt spurned,” Feb. 16). In these competitions, participants vie for prizes by killing the most or even the smallest animals. Hundreds of coyotes, foxes, squirrels and other species may fall victim at a single event.
