Dr Chris, Bondi Vet gave an interview last night on The 7PM Project about those regressive Melbourne cat curfews. His take on it all was quite excellent, pointing out that while we all want to see cats protected and their welfare improved, using the threat of fines and ‘a big stick’ is heavy handed and unnecessary.
He compared cats to solar hot water systems; that maybe instead of issuing fines for non-compliance, the government could offer rebates to people who bought cat-enclosures or participated in other responsible ownership initiatives.
Just when I thought I couldn’t
See the interview below (you’ll want to kick it off at 2:36 for the cat stuff, or just let it run from the beginning if you like a bit of Dr Chris action).
