Protest march to Council: Don't call Cats Pests ! They are family!

Bunty from Huapai - Kumeu

Currently proposed Auckland Region Pest Management 10 year Plan wants to classify all cats as pests. If a cat is seen or trapped in a Council managed Park, they will shoot it! They say they'll check for a microchip, (they haven't in the past,) but over 15,000 microchips will fail (Virbac.) That is too unreliable when a cat's life depends on it. PLEASE join the march on Wed. 28 March. Meet 11am. outside Civic Theatre, Queen St. Bring friends and a placard if you can.

For more see Facebook: Animal Re-homing Charitable Trust

Submissions to Council must be in by 8pm Wed. 28 March. Here: www.aucklandcouncil.govt.nz...

ALSO sign Petition. Everyone in the world can sign. Please share. link:secure.avaaz.org...
