A petition has been started (by a Vox Felina reader, I’m pleased to report!) demanding that ABC News revisit the free-roaming cat issue with a little more journalistic rigor, as a follow-up to their one-sided “Kitty Cam Killers” segment on 20/20 Friday evening.

In less than 48 hours, the petition has received nearly 500 signatures and several comments. If you aren’t among those who have already signed, I encourage you to do so. If you have, please help spread the word by e-mailing to others, and sharing via social media.

I don’t know how much influence we’ll have with ABC News—but we know darn well what to expect if we do nothing.
