(haipo) - A resident of Haifa, an elderly woman suffering from a disability, told Lahi Fe that three municipal inspectors showed up on motorcycles and started walking around and making noise around her while she was feeding the cats near her home.
A resident of Neve Shanan, who feeds the cats around her house every morning, and waits until the cats have finished eating to remove and clean up the remains, according to her, told Lahi Fe about an incident that, according to her, had a severe impact on her.
The woman says that one day, when she was about to feed a small cat, three municipal inspectors appeared on heavy motorcycles and started making noises and turns, with the aim of scaring her. According to her, the inspectors approached her in a threatening manner, wearing helmets and demanded her in a firm and threatening tone to show her ID card. The frightened woman asked the reason for the ID card request and asked that they also identify themselves to her.
The woman tells Lehi Pa that out of fear she handed over the ID card to the inspectors, who photographed her and kept her details, while threatening her that if she was caught feeding cats again, she would be fined. The woman replied to the inspectors that there is no reason to fine her, since she is feeding according to the law, according to which the inspectors replied: "We are warning you."
In a face-to-face conversation, the woman said:
"I can't fall asleep. It's still hard for me to digest what happened. I'm still frightened and still shocked by the threatening attitude. What did I do? And why do they have to do this horror show? And why three inspectors? It's still hard for me to speak."
Haifa Municipality gave a response to Haifa:
"The municipal inspectors arrived at the scene following many complaints received by the municipality about the uncontrolled feeding of cats, while leaving food residues in the public space and creating sanitary hazards that are a factor in attracting wild boars and pests of all kinds, such as cockroaches, rats and mice and following them also snakes to the area.
Since it was an elderly woman, the inspectors refrained from writing a report to her and contented themselves with explaining the importance of maintaining the cleanliness and controlled and responsible feeding of the cats in accordance with the law. The municipal inspectors are guided and behave in a courteous and tolerant manner, and any complaint on the subject, if any, is examined and handled by the director of the department personally." .
Correction: rotten salad.
A young mayor. Young city council. A maximum of 3-4 pensioners, a third of the council as is the case today.
The elderly destroyed Haifa.
Feeding street cats (including food that causes them to have diarrhea and bothers with a strong smell) instead of cleanliness and order
Demand parking lots and traffic jams and leasing vehicles instead of fast public transportation
Closure of places of entertainment in the Moriah district due to bullying and noise complaints and the smuggling of young people from the city
Turning the university and Technion campuses into desolate places and destroying the student atmosphere in the city
Taking over the beaches of Bat Galim. Playing a Russian radio station instead of headphones
Elderly immigrant housing groups instead of aid for veterans and young families
Demands for discounts are extreme in the pensioners faction without proportion to the other needs in the city _ free parking!
Building dozens of new nursing homes and turning Haifa into a geriatric city
Hoarding apartments and renting them out at rent is a burden to young people and a decline in their lives by the owners of the apartments.
enough enough enough!!!!!!!!
It's time for a mayor at the age of 35.
It's time for benefits for young families.
It's time for new schools, not new nursing homes.
The time has come for housing clusters for young people and not for importing immigrants.
She should close the reception association and support the young parents' centers.
Prevent by force feeding cats and pigs including prison sentences.
Require pensioners to keep the peace on the bathing beaches and to prevent playing the radio.
Bring back clubs and places of entertainment to Hadar and the Moriah axis.
Remove vehicles parked on sidewalks in neighborhoods with heavy fines
True, we will all be retired, but you crossed the line.
Wretched. I hope you don't get old.
Evil incarnate.
What's the deal with residential nursing homes at sane prices for young people?
You made coleslaw.
You have no shame and no shame.
Read the municipality's response again:
The inspectors came following complaints from neighbors!!
That is, this woman was caught red-handed, and perhaps additional women are causing a sanitary hazard!
And then they complain that there are pigs and other wild animals in the street!
So maybe the inspectors weren't gentle enough, but does anyone have an idea how on earth they explain to these feeders that it is forbidden to feed wild animals except cats in the designated places and according to the agreements established back in 2019?
These kind inspectors are invited to my neighborhood, maybe it will stop the incessant fattening of the cats by old women.
When will the public understand that feeding stray cats is harmful to the environment and other animals?? Crows and magpies and other invasive species feast on the leftover food and birds and lizards are devoured by the cats that are multiplying at a dizzying rate.
On the contrary, cats are biological control. We asked the municipality to bring them back without breeding rights. Our compound is free of rodents, pigeons and snakes

You have to be a complete idiot to believe the nonsense of the municipality's response.
"I'm just asking" - were there 3 inspectors with motorcycles / Vespas - or not?
Is that woman lying / hallucinating / senile?
Or is the municipality's response like this???
And the city inspectors - really "heroes" for the weakest.
Aren't you confused?
Is this the response of the city officials?
It's a shame that there is no police station in the municipality!!!
H Y D D !!!
The behavior of the municipality is shameful and the reaction as usual is even more shameful
In particular, those who broke the law are the inspectors to the point of harassment. ??♂️
No certificates were presented
Intimidated, especially that the older woman did not break the law
Except for the fact that she didn't wait for the cats to scratch, but that's not legal either.
Lately, the inspectors with their motorcycles and vehicles, have been ambushing citizens with the same attitude as the Border Guard to terrorists.
The responses to applications to the municipality are delusional, false, or unrelated to reality.
Kudos to our not particularly smart inspectors
And the HMM was nearby, for cover, in case of need.
What will they come to the ignominy who is parked wherever he wants, they will come to Avrin, his sons. No, they will come to the old age
Well, really thanks to the merciful inspectors, full of compassion, who did not give a fine to an elderly woman for not committing an injustice.
Bravo.
It's nice to know that there are still municipal inspectors. In the vicinity of my residence, the center of Carmel, they have not seen each other for a long time...
The fact that the inspectors are threatening and unprofessional is very serious. You should take pictures of everything and not give up. Ehud
Treated cats are an excellent biological control. Have undergone veterinary care not obstetrics.
Come on, I wrote a comment and you didn't post it.
Why?
Come on... just bites...
It would be better if inspectors would pay attention to why there are so many disabled people parking on our street and we would check, for example, our neighbor who put a disabled sign on his late mother who was disabled....
disgrace!!!
Let them deal with what is necessary!!!
The inspectors have become hunters, they hunt cat feeders and make their lives miserable. They don't hesitate to give false reports for no real reason, even though the halo is done according to the rules. I speak from personal experience. They chase me and threaten to confiscate my dog even though the dog is licensed and vaccinated and has done nothing. Even when I don't feed them, they chase me and threaten me. I contacted the police to file a complaint and they claim that if I complain to the municipality it will be more effective, but I see from the response of the municipality that they do not take seriously the claims about the bully behavior of the inspector
Great heroes over weaklings. Shame and inhumanity.
The municipality's answer lacks 2 important links: the inspectors did not give a report and a fine, because there was no reason for it: 1) the woman who fed the cat, behaved exactly according to the law: feeding on a plate and waiting for the end of eating and clearing the plate, and not because of the age of the feeder.
2) The Haifa Municipality's response lacks a response regarding the inspector's need for identification. These three inspectors did not in any way agree to present a certificate, but they demanded a certificate from the feeder. In the clear at a lawyer it became clear that it is your duty to present a certificate!!!
I would be happy to receive clarifications from the city of Haifa
Amalia, there is nothing to wait and watch. sad!
That the municipality will start cleaning the streets and not blame the residents. Because of the municipality's failures, Haifa became one of the dirtiest cities in the country.
indeed. every word!
Take the words out of my mouth, they don't even take care of the rats and the dirt that is there
exactly. agree with every word. Dirty streets, garbage not to be removed, terrible stench. near the bins. Cats actually bother them.
