I think that no one dispute that feral or loose dogs can be a problem, the issue is that the council can do something about dogs because there are laws regarding the control of dogs.
There are no laws in Tasmania to enforce control of pet cats and the local council is powerless to act. :mad:
Regarding dog poo in your front yard, it is not the fault of the dog it is of the irresponsible owners.
Perhaps you are lucky that riders on horses do not use your footpath like they do in Moore Park Beach in Qld.

I agree 100%,it is NOT the fault of any of the animals,they are just doing naturally, what they have done for 100's of years.It is ALL the fault of the irresponsible human owners.
And I think you will find that under the local council regulations,that a cat that is found wandering around the neighbourhood,can be picked up by the local council ranger and if not claimed,it can be euthanaised just like a dog.

You hit the nail on the head, Its the stupid irresponsible humans that are to blame. Any cat that is caught out of its yard in the Shire of Yarra Ranges is fair game, they will even give you a trap to catch them. I take care of them myself and the neighbours have finally cottoned on I think (or given up) as I havent seen one in my yard for 12 months.

If you are more forgiving than me or not up to the task the trick is to take them to another shires pound and the owners wont even go looking there.

No mate, no in Tasmania, the Department of Primary Industry have the power and it is not prepared to pass a law because then the Councils will ask for more money because they said that they do not have the resources!
I have made the enquirer and left frustrated. :mad:

Any dog roaming the streets in my area would last about 10 minutes before the local pound cottoned on to it and took them away.. and as they should. I am a dog owner and my dogs never roam the street - unless they are on a lead. We have gone to a lot of trouble to ensure that the yard is dog proof as I personally don't want them getting out and causing trouble or being hurt. And yes I always carry doggy bags when walking the dogs.. :)

I'm not biased as I have had cats also.. inside cats.

And our naughty doings will do more for the native animals than their ranting ever will.

And here was me thinking that someone might have posted pics of an in frame rebuild on a D10...............:wasntme:

We have 2 dogs and a cat.... and take preserving the local fauna seriously.

The cat AKA Taffy is an out door cat during the day but have trained him to come when called at night to be locked indoors. Ok, I know.... a cat who comes when called is a bit of a long shot however cats being cats they do everything in cat time and generally within 5 to 10 minutes of calling we hear a meow as he walks through the door. l

The biggest thing we have done though is use a Cat Bib on him, Catbib - The New Big Bib ,before he used to "gift" us his prey.... BAD KITTY and now has just about zero'd his kills ... GOOD KITTY. Been using them for about 6 years now. Well worth the small expense.

The neoprene interferes with their natural pounce reflex also makes the cat a lot more visible. I'm sure I hear the birds laughing at him :)

Even put the local vet on to the Bid.

Miffed with a neighbour though, she got herself 2 cats who totally roam free 7x24.
