Petition Against Australian Plans To Kill 2 Million Feral Cats

That is very sweet but who will pay for the sanctuaries? Most animal shelters here are run by volunteers and funded in donations.

 

The opening post here said that there is a 3.6 m $ fund already established to wipe cats off the face of the earth. Where did that $ come from?

Strange, it seems to me there is always funds for wars and for things man really wants to do.

 

^ well this is true. There is always money for what the government wants to spend it on.

Apparently we can afford new highways and shit we don't need for millions of dollars too but public hospitals are always short on equipment and staff.

 

i'm thinking the problem is way too big and out of hand to think about any bleeding heart type solutions

other animals will die off forever if the cats aren't dealt with NOW

I would be remiss if I did not fight for an animal's rights from human genocide....It would betray everything that I am if i did not. You could not pay me a million dollars to murder a cat or any animal, and i almost adopted another cat today that needed a home badly, but someone beat me to it.....

 

If you only eat the fruit/veg given by the plants they do not scream. Root foods are another thing. That's taking the life of the plant but the fruit of the plant is given to mankind and animals as a gift.

Right now, the lives of millions of Australia’s cats are on the line.
In July 2015, Minister Hunt and the Department of the Environment announced plans to kill two million cats by 2020 in a misguided attempt to save wildlife. Habitat destruction not cats has caused dozens of species in Australia to go extinct and endangers many more. Rather than focusing on the hard work of protecting the bush, Mr. Hunt has waged war on cats.

Hunt’s plan is not only unsound, but also ineffective and inhumane. Cats cannot be eliminated through killing. Decades of failed attempts to wipe cats out have proven this. Surviving cats reproduce quickly and fill the void, otherwise known as the vacuum effect.

The plan will only cause cats to suffer and die needlessly, with little change in the cat population and no benefit to wildlife. And it’s not just the cats who will suffer. Poisons and barbaric traps are cruel and do not discriminate. Other species will be caught both literally and figuratively in the crossfire.

It is time for Australia to embrace ethical, sound, and proven methods. Leading Australian conservationists argue in favor of nonlethal means of protecting animals in the bush. In urban settings, the humane and effective approach is to de-sex alley cats and return them to their outdoor homes. When cats are de-sexed, populations stabilise and then decline.
Australians are banding together to ask Minister Hunt to end his department’s plan to kill millions of cats. Join us.

Sign the pledge and declare that you want the government to do better by our nation’s cats.
