WHEREAS, despite the opposition of the respected community leaders of
Alley Cat Allies, and the objections of Fairfax County Animal Control, a longstanding feral cat colony residing in a Chantilly, Virginia, trailer park, monitored and fed by residents and by Alley Cat Allies, has been targeted for brutal
EXTERMINATION by
EQUITY LIFESTYLE PROPERTIES, INC., and
WHEREAS, such cruel and mercenary conduct is nauseous, unethical, and repugnant in the eyes of any reasonable man or woman, acting reasonably; and
WHEREAS, any number of humane alternatives have been summarily discarded by Equity Lifestyle Properties, Inc., in the interest of trapping and killing as many cats and kittens as quickly as possible; and
WHEREAS, the sole objective of the monstrously cruel exercise is to coax upper income homebuyers to purchase new homes, in a glutted housing market that can bear no new buyers;
NOW, THEREFORE, we signers of this petition urge
Equity LifeStyle Properties, Inc., and
The Board of Supervisors of Fairfax County, Virginia, to cease and desist from this mad, deplorable scheme, lest the dark sins of the elders cast a shadow upon Virginia children, grandchildren, and descendants, to generations yet unborn.
