Alley Cat Allies, which advocates for the protection of cats and kittens, filed suit Wednesday in Alameda County Superior Court, arguing that the district s policy is inhumane and fails to comply with the California Environmental Quality Act by changing the physical environment without a full review of the consequences.
Alley Cat Allies requested the court to vacate or suspend the policy, which East Bay Parks has not enforced since December, and issue a temporary restraining order.
