While you sit in traffic during your daily commute, keep your eyes peeled for our  billboard. It features a black and white photo of a young cat behind an iron fence, provided by the Humane Society of the United States. It has been mounted at various Portland metro area sites.  The AK Media billboard, a whopping 48 by 14 feet in size looks like the following and reads

“Leave a cat behind…  YOU COULD GO TO JAIL.   Animal abandonment is against the law!”:

Billboard reads: Leave a cat behind? You could go to Jail.  Animal abandonment is Against the Law.

Let’s hope it leaves a lasting impression!

Animal Abandonment in Oregon is a Class B Misdemeanor punishable by a $2500 fine and/or six months in jail.
