I saw this on Fox 8 news. The sentence was handed down by a magistrate, I heard today there’s going to be another sentencing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jbluhm86 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 According to Fox8, she was jailed for contempt of court. Apparently this lady was cited by the court several times for feeding strays, yet ignored the citations and kept doing it anyway. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Garfield Heights, Ohio, it's considered a minor misdemeanor to offer food to stray cats and dogs, according to Cleveland.com. Nancy Segula, a resident of the city who has received multiple citations for feeding stray felines, was ordered by a judge last week to spend 10 days in jail, Fox 8 reports. If it was a first offense I'd agree but multiple citations and she still does it so it appears maybe a harder penalty will get the message across. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That is all you needed to have known. http://www.garfieldhts.org/News FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Re: Nancy Segula The Mayor, the Garfield Heights Police Department and the City of Garfield Heights as a whole have received quite a bit of criticism after hearing that a 79-year-old female was sentenced to jail for feeding stray cats. Many have contacted the Police Department and City Hall to express their concerns. It is important to note that the Animal Warden has received numerous complaints regarding this issue from other residents in the area of Mrs. Segula’s home, dating back to early 2015. Once aware of the issue, the Animal Warden attempted to work with Mrs. Segula to humanely clear the area of the cats and advised her of the city ordinance prohibiting feeding strays. Mrs. Segula was also made aware of her neighbors’ concerns, however, she continued to feed the cats. In June of 2015, she was cited for feeding cats and convicted of that charge in July of 2015.In May of 2017, she was cited for various charges related to feeding cats at her residence. In July of 2017, she was convicted of having too many cats at her residence and she was placed on probation.In August of 2017, Mrs. Segula was cited for failing to properly dispose of animal waste related to the numerous cats at her house and for continuing to feed stray cats. Waste was often being found on her neighbors’ property. In November of 2017, she was convicted of the “failure to dispose” charge and placed on 2 years probation. One of the terms of her probation was that she was not permitted to feed stray cats, which she ignored. It is important to note that at her May, 2019 probation violation hearing, she was again advised not to feed stray cats and her 10-day sentence was “stayed,” meaning it was suspended with the understanding that she would comply with the court order. At the review hearing last week, the Magistrate found that she was still feeding stray cats, which she freely admitted, and sentenced her to 10 days for “contempt of court.” Mrs. Segula has never been arrested by the Police Department or the Animal Warden, she has been cited and summoned into court to respond to the numerous city ordinance violations and probation violations. The Animal Warden simply presented the facts of the case in court and the Magistrate issued his decision(s)/sentence. Our department and the City as a whole recognize that many are passionate about pets and animals in general. We are also aware that many do not feel the same way. Feeding strays is a violation of City Ordinance 505.23 and violation of this ordinance often results in a large number of cats moving into one area and thereby creating a nuisance for neighbors, which happened in this matter. Over a period of time, the Animal Warden has removed 22 cats from Mrs. Segula’s house. The Warden turns the stray cats over to Forever Friends, a local rescue organization, where the cats are spayed or neutered, receive appropriate medical attention and placed for adoption. Our only intention in this case was to enforce the city ordinance and to alleviate a nuisance situation created by Mrs. Segula. ---------------- Once again, you rush into a subject blindly, and - once again - you prove yourself to be a dumbass.

While I agree that throwing the woman into ADX Florence for life would be extreme overkill, a few days in county jail for repeatedly violating the same law seems reasonable. Being obstinate about one's terms of probation never bodes well for staying out of jail. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She keeps pushing the envelope where it is at the point where she either has to be incarcerated or they will need to change the prohibition law against feeding cats. When one is on probation the most harsh penalties are reserved for the worst violations and minor violations such as this just get ratcheted up until you reach the harsher punishment and that seems to be the case here. Give her 10 days jail and release her after a day or two to send a message but if she continues violating probation rules then have her serve out the rest of the 10 days jail.

I mean it's only been a problem with stray cats for 5 years and counting. It shouldn't be up to the citizens to feed stray animals. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cats end up in shelters ran by the county and everyone gets stuck with the tab of caring for them or having them euthanized. This lady is paying out of pocket for the cats. If anything she is saving everyone a buck and the city is spazzing over it. While she is in jail, those cats will be wrecking trash and killing anything they can get ahold of (birds, squirrels, etc) that people generally like to have around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mjp28 Posted July 31, 2019 Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 It might sound harsh or heartless -BUT- among other things why are there so many stray cats? Because people feed stray cats......and then they go out and multiply exponentially! Ask anyone who runs a shelter it is out of control. The old lady should donate or volunteer at a shelter. There, I'm a heartless bastard. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemist Posted July 31, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 31, 2019 There were once laws that prohibited black people from using the same public facilities as white people. All those who went to jail for disobeying that law surely deserved it. Right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
