Kenneth Cavness 's post reminded me of this:
A local woman found out about this really bad situation with a growing and persistent population of feral cats on an island in the Niagara River (it's roughly 12 miles from Niagara Falls), which was kept surprisingly quiet until she tried to help out. Then she found out it's against the law to help the cats because the local city passed a well-written law that was clearly only directed at hoarders. Not. Now it turns out that the only place in two counties that doesn't have these stupid laws is the City of Buffalo, and that only changed recently. It isn't even cheaper to kill them all, which they weren't even bothering to do on this island.
"It's against the law to feed, give aid or comfort to a stray cat ... since 1999, when ... passed restrictive cat laws in response to a hoarding situation."
