CARTERET: Josi Tozzi has always had a love for animals.CA 
For the last 14 years, she has been involved in various animal-rescue  
programs. During the last three years, she has been acting as a local resource  for 
people who have animal-related problems in the borough.  
Now Tozzi, aiming o make those rescue efforts more widespread by  getting the 
community involved, is spearheading the Carteret Animal Project.  
She envisions the project as a way to "educate the community about  spaying 
and neutering their pets," as well as national initiatives such as  "trap, 
neuter and release" for feral cats.  
According to Tozzi, Carteret has a large stray-animal problem, mostly  with 
cats.  
"It's been a problem for years and it is just getting worse and  worse," said 
Tozzi. "No one is really taking control of the problem."  
One problem, she said, is people who abandon their pets -- which she  said is 
a problem throughout the United States, not just in  Carteret.

I No  Fishing Because fish have a brain, a central nervous system, and pain 
receptors,  they can feel pain just like cats, dogs, and humans. Just because 
they can't  scream doesn't mean that they are not in pain. Also, other animals, 
like birds,  often strangle or choke to death on lost hooks and lines. - PETA
