He cats need tending. We need to help her.
Apparently the laws she was charged against are no longer on the books, yet the City continues after her anyway.
Please call her. She will show you where the cats are. We need to get people to feed the colonies until this is resolved. The City prosecutor is demanding that her daughter stop representing her in court.

I checked the BH code. It's still on the books.

HORRIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!
First animal rights people sent out e-mails to many claiming that Varjian had been arrested for feeding cats. Now the claim is being made that they are afraid she might have to go to jail. Which is true? Are facts being manipulated to conjure up sympathy and support for Varjian?
Varjian does not live in our neighborhood, but she insists upon littering and leaving cat food in our alleys which draws coyotes, rodents, etc. She also claims that there is a colony of feral cats in our area which is not true. We residents, including animal lovers like myself, have asked Varjian repeatedly to stop her conduct, but she refuses to respect our wishes.
This is not a person who deserves sympathy and support. This is a person who should direct her energy to helping cats in a sensible manner such as by feeding cats who are awaiting adoption. If she would, then she wouldn't have to worry about getting arrested.
