Battle over stray cat feeding ban in Pa. town

PALMERTON, Pa. (WPVI) -- You might think feeding stray cats could become a problem, but people in one Pennsylvania community are actually trying to protect the practice.

A crowd packed Palmerton Borough Hall in Carbon County Thursday night.

They are trying to overturn a law that forbids feeding strays.

One woman says she's already been fined $123.
