USA Today, August 12, 1996:

The Anderson, Ind., City Council has tentatively approved a city ordinance that would require cats to be on leashes. Some cat lovers want to derail the measure before a final vote on Sept. 12. Animal-protection activist Katherine Harvey called the proposal medieval and cursed City Attorney J.D. Gillespie, who presented it. "I hate you," Harvey told Gillespie, "I hope you die."
