Thank you for your response. New Jersey law also has something called neuter/spay and release program. Wouldn't that also be taken into consideration in court? And nowhere on the trap did it say property of animal control. I am going to voice this information in court to the judge. I think it should have been clearly stated whose cage it was. I think maybe animal rights should be involved in this fight. I am not the only one in New Jersey who is doing this or for that matter, in the world.
