So this is Gungahlin/Forde...or Bonner whichever. From CCSERAC website.
Cats
Cats
For many of us, cats are loved companions, and simply members of the family.
However, there is little doubt that cats do not belong in places like nature reserves.
For this reason, the new suburbs of Forde and Bonner, which lie on the border of Mulligans Flat Nature Reserve, are declared 'Cat Containment Zones'.
According to the Domestic Animals (Cat Containment) Amendment Act 2005, this means that at all times, cats in Forde and Bonner must be confined to a completely or partly enclosed space from which a cat cannot escape (a building or part of a building, a vehicle or a cat cage).
Even if you don't live in these suburbs, you can do your bit for local wildlife by either keeping your cat indoors at all times, or by always keeping an eye on them when they are outside. Do keep cats inside at night, as this is their favourite time for hunting down some tasty snacks.
So if there are cat containment zones I think that there should be dog containment zones. They harass people, chase other animals, attack, eat, destroy environment (cats at least have the decency to cover their faeces), by defacaeting in public, digging holes that they don't fill in. I wonder what would happen if there were dog "containment areas" public outcry?
My cat doesn't go out at night (I don't let her out at night), I think it is just common sense. Cats are nocturnal they eat things at night. Only an irresponsible cat owner lets their cat out at night.
And why do real estate agents advertise houses as "family" but then say no pets. Makes no sense to me at all.
Must be part of the plan to turn people into cat haters, or see if socialisation can assist in there being more humans unable to understand, empathise or like animals. Think of what can be done with people like that eh?
