What affects us affects cats
NEWS AND COMMENT – Note that I am expressing a view on the news: It is highly unusual in my experience to read a story about a firefighter deliberately poisoning cats. We are told that at least six have been poisoned to death. In America, citizens are used to reading about firefighters saving the …
