Calling All Cat Lovers

Catherine Neighbourly Lead from Waterview

To all CAT lovers. *** LAST DAY TODAY TO PUT YOUR SUBMISSION IN***

Please offer your submission to council, link below, regarding the issue of cats being deemed pests and on that basis subject to euthanasia regardless if a family pet or not.

Please see notes below.

Here is THE LINK TO SUBMIT YOUR SUBMISSION:
engage.ubiquity.co.nz...
P.S Dont forget to say you object to stray cats (which up to now have been treated with compassion) now being classified as pests. And feeding hungry animals is now going to be an offence!

Suggestions for your submission:
I am OPPOSED the Councils proposal of the term "PEST CAT", The demonisation of a species will lead to an increase of animal abuse involving cats.

I am OPPOSED to the Councils proposal to use microchips as a way of determining a cats status, be they companion, stray, or feral.
I wish to remind Council of the Animal Welfare Act 1999 and the associated MPI Companion Cats Code Of Welfare 2007, animals as sentient beings, and cats recognised as companion animals. Historically and in the future.

I SUPPORT council providing funding to local Cat rescue groups

I SUPPORT Public education promoting the value of desexing and
providing subsidised desexing clinics for citizens who are low income earners.

I am OPPOSED to the conditions imposed on cats based on Ecologically Sensitive Areas as these boundaries can change at anytime with a cat and owner inadvertently being caught up in one. Including the impact this will also have on colony cats and their human carers

Submissions need to be in no later than March 28TH!
Thanks
