Mayor Gale Katchur of Fort Saskatchewan has been recorded on video laughing about the killing of cats by drowning or exposing them to car exhaust – the way they were dealt with as she grew up. The video is short and available below. Please take a moment to watch and then visit the Fort Saskatchewan website and remind them that cats feel pain and suffer, are deserving of humane treatment, and that there are humane ways of managing feral cat colonies like trap, spay/neuter and feed programs. You might want to also ask if the kind of comments made by the Mayor is what Fort Saskatchewan wants to be known for. You could reflect on how it might affect tourism.
