Seems to me that local guys would have to relent if the higher up church officials got involved. If the Pope is a proponent of caring for ferals, I'd think that maybe the local guys would be smart fo fall in line with that, or at least allow the animals to be trapped and removed to a safer place.

According to the website of the archdiocese of New York, the ArchBishop is Timothy Dolan. Maybe it would help to contact his office????
