Aaron Hancox highlights this problem is his new TVO Original documentary, "Running Wild: The Cats of Cornwall." He talks to Steve Paikin, along with two additional participants in the film - Elizabeth Gow, adjunct professor in the Department of Integrative Biology at the University of Guelph, and Mellissa Alepins, founder of Tiny But Mighty Kitten Rescue.
