Title: Australia: Push for 24-hour cat curfew to protect native animals
Post by: Dmitry on August 11, 2015, 08:11:12 AM

Cat owners who live near areas containing threatened species could be banned from allowing their pets outdoors as the federal government sets its sights on the potential killing machines.

Australia's first threatened species commissioner, Gregory Andrews, said all cat owners should keep their pets contained 24 hours a day, saying it makes them happier and healthier, and saves native mammals.

No cat Ive owned ever had to be locked up.  Couldn't get the lazy things to move further than the couch to the kitchen.
