I hope dog owners knew about this beforehand

Gareth Morgan. The wallaby issue is indeed caused by safe for them,non controlled areas. Cat issue was identified a long time ago.would be more than 25 years.there was study going on in area..THINK of one wee native bird,a cat went through and decimated numbers,when shot? Trapped?? Was found to half numerous bits of said Tweety birds inside. The cat ladies have been around since forever,so has dumping of kittens.... Until we have a no questions asked zero charge,drop off and go service to remove unwanted cats..and dogs for that matter,the dumping issue will continue

agree Mickey Duck and trash- must have organized picking up tons over the years and all to often it was traced to locals - District council had removed rubbish collection points that used to be in rural areas and locals to bloody lazy to drive into town dumps - bigger sheep stations and dairy farms not to bad many had a digger they hide rubbish well -cats control numbers is a start you can have one- must ne neuterued or castrated and wear a bell if let outside -- I bet if they were three times the size and bit humans there would be more done

CatToxoplasmosis is an infection triggered by a parasite spread by cats. Photo: RNZ / Nate McKinnon
Toxoplasmosis affects the sight of about 40,000 New Zealanders
The parasite - spread by cat faeces - infects one in three people during their lifetime

perhaps if this nasty was more widely known people would have a different view on moggys
