SAN JUAN — Plzans to remove stray cats from a historic site in Puerto Rico's capital San Juan have hit a snag after animal rights groups cried foul.
Years after the United States National Park Service (NPS) announced that it planned to remove the cats, a colony of about 150 of them continue to roam around the El Morro Castle, a military fort built in the 16th century, when the Caribbean island was under Spanish colonial rule.
