The town of Dudley, Mass., made it illegal this week to own more than three cats without getting a $50 residential kennel license. One resident of Dudley – Mary Ellen Richards, who works to control the local feral cat population – has been fined $100 a day for keeping 15 cats at her home. What do you think of the town’s fines and new license requirement?

Hooray for this town! It’s about time that a local government crack down on people who own too many cats.

Shame on this town! The fines in Richards’ case are excessive, and the new license requirement is costly and unreasonable.
