Dear Mr. Mayor

I am compelled to send you this e-mail after reading the article in the Gloucester City News about possible pet limit laws being established in the Borough of Bellmawr.
I am a former resident of Bellmawr, and now reside in Brooklawn. I am also a volunteer, Board Member and foster home for Furrever Friends Rescue & Volunteers, which is a registered New Jersey Non-Profit cat rescue group for South Jersey.
As such, I am currently fighting the pet limit laws in my Borough and have filed an Order to Show Cause with the Superior Court of New Jersey. Pet limit laws are unconstitutional. There have been several other states where they have been fought and overturned – specifically, Creighton v. Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. It is my personal cause to do the same in the State of New Jersey.
Please review the Animal Welfare Task Force at: http://www.state.nj.us/animalwelfaretaskforcereport.pdf.
This Task Force was commissioned by the governor, and its report stated that pet limit laws do not work.
As to your over-population of feral cat colonies, the Task Force recommends TNR (Trap, Neuter and Return). Many local rescue groups that would readily assist you with TNR. How are pet limit laws going to help with feral colonies? They will not.
They are out there due to neglectful owners who move and leave their cats behind, get bored with them and let them out of the house. This is also due to their owners’ ignorance in not spaying and neutering.
Why should these defenseless animals be trapped and put to death due to ignorance? If you were to implement TNR in your Borough, the cat colonies would eventually dwindle as they are no longer able to reproduce.
I urge you to reconsider implementing a Pet Limit Ordinance and to please read the Animal Welfare Task Report.

HILTON, AUGUST J. \’GUS\’
On February 13, 2007 formerly of Audubon, NJ age 77 yrs.
Survived by his sister Shirley Antonini and her husband Vito of Audubon; nephew David Antonini of Audubon, nieces Marie DeChristopher of Deptford and Joan Antonini of Haddon Heights; great nephews Joseph and Stephen DeChristopher.
Gus retired in 1991 from PSE&G after 34 years as a truck driver.
Relatives and friends are invited to attend his viewing Tuesday morning from 9AM – 10:30AM at the HENRY FUNERAL HOME, 152 W. Atlantic Ave., Audubon. Mass of Christian Burial will be celebrated 11AM at Holy Maternity Church, 431 W. Nicholson Rd., Audubon. Interment New St. Mary\’s Cemetery, Bellmawr.

The man was immaculately dressed. Kitted out more for the Ritz than the street. But in the street he lay dressed in black tail suit, patent leather shoes, top hat and bow tie, and very dead.

\’How did he get here?\’ asked patrolman Muldoon.

\’He threw himself off the roof,\’ said a bystander.

\’Does anyone know the man?\’ said Muldoon.

\’I do,\’ said Barrie Quinn.

\’What religion is he?\’ asked the policeman. \’Catholic, Protestant, Jewish, Muslim?\’

\’None at all,\’ said Quinn. \’He\’s an atheist!\’

\’What a shame,\’ said Muldoon. \’All dressed up and nowhere to go!\’
