No-kill proponents, Humane Society clash over cat
WOODBURY, Minn. (AP) -- A euthanized cat has no-kill proponents and the Humane Society at odds in Woodbury.
When Mary Ray died last month, the Woodbury woman had willed her cat and personal belongings to the Animal Ark No-Kill Shelter in Hastings. But, the Humane Society and Woodbury police say they didn't know about the will.
Humane Society executive Ray Aboyan tells the St. Paul Pioneer Press the cat had no prospects for adoption since it was diabetic and in poor health. Ray's daughter, Susan White, agreed to have the cat put down because she knew it was in poor health and none of their relatives would want it.
No-kill proponents are planning to protest at Wednesday's Woodbury City Council meeting.
