Stupid humans.
But you know the lowest level idiot Government workers will seize on any opportunity to shove their crotch in the citizens face to make them "respect my authority".
Charging a cat with "trespassing" that is just well.... a simple explanation why I prefer animals to humans on any given day.
If the neighbour is that upset about things, they can just get themselves a big hunting dog or two, but on second thought, probably wouldn't want to curse a good dog with an idiot human like that...
It sounds like those "Animal Control" bastards were purposely trying to be as evil as possible to show how powerful they are.
Free roaming hunting cats are a good help in the war against rats taking over the place.
