UCLA dorm dealing with stray cat feeding controversy but news media take the Mikey

NEWS AND VIEWS: Here is the news media video on this story about feeding stray cats on a university campus. The management have banned it which is likely to lead to real issues for the cats as they are habituated to being fed. But the news media presenter takes the Mikey out of the story by using made up cat words to describe what is going on. I don't like it. This is a serious matter and not one to belittle with silly cat language.


Look I don't want to overegg this and be too serious but this is speciesism. The presentation is saying that this is not a serious matter. Well, it is not a big issue for humans but it might be life and death for the cats concerned. One woman recognises that and is doing something about it.
