That's the fault of the Anchorage Animal Control Dept. for not doing their jobs and enforcing the law.  They're the same  agency, funded by your taxes, that doesn't enforce the laws prohibiting free-roaming cats.  I've been told by two different Board of Game representatives that maintaining stray and feral cat colonies unconfined outdoors is a violation of state law.  Yet Shannon Basner, the president of "Mojo's Hope", the group which illegally hoard cats outdoors in Anchorage, volunteers at the Anchorage animal shelter.  Do you think Animal Control doesn't know?  I know for a fact one AC officer does because he admitted it to me.
