Dear Wesley,
Don't act like a Liberal: I said "Cat", not "Pets" (as you said).
BIG DIFFERENCE.
I like Pets, I work on an animal Farm. I like Cats for what they can be, but not for what they are in the scheme of things ...get the big picture
Rabbits can be 'cute' and cool, but if not 'controlled' - they are a very dangerous PEST.
Cats in Australia ARE NOT CONTROLLED and thus they have become a PEST.
So that 'great Aussie Family' with their cute Cat as a pet for the cute Kiddies just don't give a s h i t about the damage done. Pure Selfishness for their own personal gratification come Xmas and Birthday time.
Sorry dude, but if I saw a Cat sitting unleashed (unkept) outside near a bin. "Out with the Rubbish"
...and to think they Cull Kangaroos and Fin Sharks.
as a no big deal.
