WETUMPKA, Ala. (AP) — Two women are scheduled to stand trial in an Alabama city court where they’re accused of committing misdemeanors in their efforts to feed and trap stray cats.

Mary Alston, 60, and Beverly Roberts, 84, were arrested and taken to jail by police in Wetumpka over the summer. The police chief said the women had previously been warned not to feed stray animals.

A trial was set for Tuesday morning in Wetumpka Municipal Court. Both women, who were arrested on public property, face misdemeanor counts of criminal trespassing, the Montgomery Advertiser reported. Roberts was also charged with disorderly conduct, while Alston faced a charge of interfering with government operations.

Terry Luck, an attorney for one of the women, said they were performing a public service by trapping stray cats and having them neutered and spayed.

If they’re being neutered, spayed and deflea’d, what’s the issue?

"Either shoot them or get them neutered."

My mom used to babysit this girl that had a pet housecat that got treed by a feral cat. I got my .22 and terminated the feral cat with extreme prejudice and did not think twice.

The government doesn’t want competition. They want to form a agency with taxpayer’s money, 12 board members to oversee the bloated, incompetent city workers who couldn’t identify a cat from a titmouse.
These women are doing the community a service so they must be stopped at all means.

I know a young lady here in the capital city that will trap 6 cats at a time for me when I need farm cats here on the homestead . She has them spayed/neutered and vaccinated and wormed . She usually leaves me 6 cats , two blankets , two cat beds , two hundred pounds of cat food and two hundred pounds of kitty litter and a couple of litter boxes . She loves cats and spends probably around a hundred each rescuing/treating those 6 cats and driving them 75 miles out here to live the dream . We lock them in the barn for a few weeks until they get used to the environment and the new threats , Yotes , Foxes , Owls , Hawks but they soon learn to survive and hunt for rodents and birds that will destroy every building you build without protection . Damn tree rats [squirrels/chipmunks are the worst . My most favored cats are the ones that can kill lots of tree rats . They are so quick many lesser cats cannot catch them .

blew it out of the tree where it ran into the wheat field and howled in pain till it too died. We joked to his fiancee that if they had kids she better take care of them

You think this is funny, you stupid piece of dung? That you'd shoot a cat and let it die slowly in agony? You're so ignorant, we can smell the stench all the way over here. It is possible that the kittens had something wrong with them, and the mother cat sensed it. Nature doesn't waste energy. If she sensed they wouldn't make it, she would not use energy resources to feed them. Why didn't you bottle feed the kittens? You freaking IDIOT!

Thank you, Ein I’m surprised Red isn’t communicating with his family from behind a plane of Plexiglass. That torture and killing of small animals is some sick s**t, and indication of criminal tendencies.
