You might ever think that gods stray cats fed could they cost someone prison? The answer is obviously no, yet it really happened.

Not in our country where, fortunately, none exist law prohibiting this behavior. But in the United States yes and in particular in Ohio.

The unfortunate protagonist of this affair is a 79-year-old woman named Nancy Segula. An honest citizen life, if it weren't for her boundless love for cats.

His only fault, in fact, is living in the wrong state. Yes, because in Ohio to feed the stray animals it is punishable by criminal law.

Exactly, you got it right. In this state you cannot feed any animal, otherwise you end up in jail.

But that never mattered to Nancy. The elderly lady, in fact, has never been able to see those felines die of hunger. She thought about it for many years, despite the many complaints suffered.

Because his story, in fact, begins many years ago. From 2015 until last May, his life was a succession of citations and complaints, always for the same fault. Feeding the stray cats in your neighborhood.

But in these 4 years, the woman hasn't worried that much. The hungry kittens lived almost with her, they were part of her family. There were more than twenty-five!

As she herself has stated several times, in fact, the company of those quadrupeds helped her to feel less loneliness after the death of her husband.

But that, his neighbors didn't care. They saw her feed the strays and every time a complaint was triggered.

This, until last May 10, when the sentence became final. Nancy Segula, in fact, will now have to serve 10 days in prison.

A 79-year-old woman, therefore, will have to spend 10 days in a prison for having given some food to stray kittens. Perhaps, pass us the judgment, a slightly exaggerated punishment.
