Australian plans to kill 2 million feral cats

<< < (2/2)

Mymblesdaughter:
I read about this a while ago and hoped there would be such an outcry it wouldn't happen. I really hope there are going to be protests in Australia about it. I can't imagine it would be allowed to happen here. I think people would be out protesting.

There really needs to be questions asked about how they have let this become such a problem without some sort of intervention by the government. Most countries seem to have successful TNR programs many of them not as rich as Australia.

Lyn (Slugsta):
thank you for drawing this to our attention. I'm just sorry that there is the need to do so  >:(

parenthesis:
'The Australian Government plans to kill over 2 million cats, with a $3.6m fund established to wipe colony cats off the face of the earth.

This high risk initiative includes a number of cat eradication programs including baiting, shooting, dogs, traps and nearly every method of killing known.'


If you object to this please consider contacting your local Australian embassy or consulate or, if you're Australian, your local authorities and suggest that the money could be better and more humanely spent on TNR or other programmes. Stiff penalties for those who abandon pets would be useful, too.
