Why this petition matters

Started by Mary Battenfield

I would like the mayor, judge, and city council to not put this grandmother in jail for 10 days for feeding stray cats on her property in Garfield Heights, Ohio. It is currently illegal to feed, TNR or care for stray animals in this city. This sweet lady has been feeding the strays for years, has asked for help from the animal warden, rescues, etc. She has been fined several times and paid the fines.

Now, because she is a "multiple offender" the judge is throwing the book at her and putting her in jail for 10 days. COUNTY JAIL!  HELP US FIX THIS BEFORE AUGUST 11!!
