Rescue dispute over cat rescue from a 70 foot tree
In Medicine Hat a cat named Sambo climbed a 70 foot evergreen at Washington and Braemar Streets. Fire officials say rescues cost time and money and they no longer perform cat rescues, while residents argue for intervention to avoid danger. Special constables offer limited help, and local tree service personnel may be called.
