UPDATE:
The Motion by the SA Legislative Review Committee formerly on the Parliamentary Agenda to disallow the Campbelltown Council Cats By-Law 2023 has been withdrawn which we consider is extremely poor and find suspicious, but we don’t consider that this was a unanimous decision of the whole LRC. Currently there is still a Motion posted by Frank Pangallo MP (SA BEST) to disallow this diabolical cat bylaw. We consider that SA BEST is now literally the BEST and now deserves our support and votes.
31st January 2023
Currently there is a Motion by the SA Legislative Review Committee on the Parliamentary Agenda to disallow the Campbelltown Council Cats By-Law 2023. This is to be debated shortly when Parliament resumes.
If this is not disallowed then…
Cats will be trapped, injured and killed. Microchips won’t guarantee return.
Council cannot deliver cat-free yards and stop wildlife attacks as new cats infiltrate. (“Vacuum Effect”)
Council’s Animal Management Plan states. “Even if Council was to be effective in confining pet cats, ‘unprotected spaces’ would be subject to visitation from feral cats. Officers provide advice and guidance to cat owners to be responsible by promoting the desexing of cats through the CATS (Cats Assistance To Sterilise) program.”
