With laws like that, i always wonder how cats manage to survive as a species.

That’s the idea to stop cats breeding at will, although not much good for feral ones. Would be a very good idea to reduce these populations in Tasmania before native animals start going extinct.

They did the job on Bruny. Offered free desexings and chippings. Then they went mad with trapping and if it wasn’t chipped …bad luck.

Bruny is an island. A fair sized island.

Hope they keep it up and rid the entire Island of them. One good thing about cats is they generally don’t like water making islands good refuges.
