'Cat paradise' sad gloss for pet dumpsite
The Japan Times: Aug. 17, 2004
"Please do not mention the name of this place in your article," the woman begged during an interview. "Please".....
The plea by Kaneko, who also didn't want her given name used, was not that of someone in danger but that of a volunteer trying to care for hundreds of abandoned cats in a small wooded hill in the Kanto region [the Kanagawa Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals]....
"More people will come and dump (their unwanted) cats if they read an article about the cats here," Kaneko said, underscoring that her concerns are not unfounded.
Unfortunately, the proverbial cat is already out of the bag.....
