Cats might be cute, but too many feral cats can wreak havoc on the ecosystem. Cornwall, Ont., found that out the hard way when their stray and feral cat population began to take over their streets. 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.
