Is it true that they killed all the stray cats in Venice?

Question

(And now it's full of rats?)

Answer 1

Highly unlikely, I think you're friend is having you on.  Venetians love their cats, and even the numerous feral ones will always find someone to feed them.

Answer 2

I haven't heard anything and I live in Italy.  Although, I don't live in Venice.  I wish they'd shoot all them d**n pigeons though!

Answer 3

Cats are protected in Venice-it was one of the first places to implement animal protection laws. The cats there are neutered and looked after-because they are neutered, there is not the flood of unwanted kittens and street cats that you see in many other holiday destinations. There are animal charities and a sanctuary there.

I have found this out as I am going next week and was concerned -I run an animal charity myself mainly in Spain but fron the U.K.

Answer 4

No, no one has killed the stray cats in the city of Venice. What they should do away with are the pigeons and the rats... and some of the residents who don't clean up after their dogs.

Answer 5

the rats exist everywhere, but unfortunately this happens very often, and you know why?they think that it affects tourism, and they dont understand that just in a negative way tourism can be affected

Answer 6

I don't think so...

That will be soo cruel...
