SAN
JUAN, Puerto Rico, Jan. 25,
2025 /PRNewswire/ -- With a ruling expected soon on
its federal lawsuit to stop the NPS from removing and killing cats
who live on a famous trail in San Juan,
Puerto Rico, Alley Cat Allies is holding a worldwide protest
to call for an end to the NPS's lethal plan.
People around the world are urged to post on social media
with #SaveSanJuanCats, raise awareness, and tell the NPS loud and
clear: Do not kill the cats of Puerto
Rico.
Alley Cat Allies, the leader of the global movement to protect
cats and kittens, is kicking off the protest on January 25 with an on-the-ground demonstration in
San Juan, Puerto Rico.
"Our worldwide protest is an urgent rallying call to stop the
NPS's cruel and deadly plan for San
Juan's cats. Now is the time to raise our collective voice
louder than ever," said Charlene
Pedrolie, president and chief operating officer of Alley Cat
Allies. "We urge everyone who cares about the lives of these cats
to join us and speak out."
Alley Cat Allies filed its federal lawsuit in March of 2024 to
challenge and ultimately end the NPS's plan to eradicate cats
living outdoors on the Paseo del Morro, a popular trail and tourist
destination that is part of the San Juan National Historic Site.
Now, Alley Cat Allies is mobilizing compassionate people in
Puerto Rico and around the world
to speak out in support of the cats' right to live and against the
NPS's deadly action.
Anyone who wants to join the worldwide protest to protect
Puerto Rico's cats can learn how
to take action on alleycat.org.
Alley Cat Allies urges all who value the lives of these cats to
be part of its critical fight against cruelty and injustice.
Together, we can protect the community cats of the Paseo del Morro
and champion evidence-based and nonlethal policies for cats,
including Trap-Neuter-Return (TNR), that allow them to live and
thrive in their outdoor homes.
