Dumping Miss Daisy

Is the dumping of a tame house cat into the woods just an isolated case or is it part of a larger problem at Jersey City Animal Control? Why would Officers John Ross Jr. and Aaron Jordan, who admitted dumping Daisy, have done so?

Ross reportedly told the cat's owner he's been doing this for years and this is the policy when it comes to handling feral cats. But Daisy was not a feral cat. She's tame and had rarely been out of the house before.

Even feral cats are supposed to be spayed or neutered when they're picked up, according to Joe Frank, the director of Animal Control. Should Frank be the one to conduct the investigation?

By the way, if Daisy were wearing a collar with an identification tag, none of this would have happened. I'm told most house cats do not wear collars or ID tags, but perhaps that should change.

What are your thoughts on the dumping of Miss Daisy?

  • Arnold, your treatment of this was more of a fluff piece than anything else.  Use OPRA to obtain all the dozens of complaints against Franks and do a real expose.

  • First of all,
    If the neighbors have been friendly to each other....

    Of Course it is wrong & inhumane what they have done.
    If I could punish the employees, I'll give them the same treatment...

  • no why would Animal Control Officers pick up a child? Unless of course we're talking about a child raised by wolves in the great "wild" that is lincoln park. Get real. There are far more serious issues that our great Governor should be attending to than this matter.
