We the undersigned wish to see Streaky Bay Council laws on Volunteer Cat Traps change.

At the moment Volunteer Cat Trapping is welcomed by the District Council of Streaky Bay, as Feral Cats have been always been & continue to be a problem for this town.

Unfortunately though, not everyone seems to be doing the right thing as suggested by Council & many Pet Cats are mysteriously disappearing.

The Council laws need to be looked at, so that Pet Cats & their owners are protected. 

Cat trapping needs to be undertaken ONLY by Council Officers, so that it's Feral Cats being caught & euthanised properly or better yet (Trap, Neuter, Release)..... NOT family pets, by Community members hiring a trap to deal with a problem Pet in their area.

It is far too easy to trap a neighboring cat & dispose of it, without anyone ever knowing.

Many people in Streaky Bay have had Pet Cats mysteriously disappear & some people have stories about how they are fully aware of who disposed of their pet after trapping it in a Volunteer Cat trap (easily available from Council) or from many sites on the internet.

We would like The District Council of Streaky Bay of SA to meet & discuss making changes to the hiring of Cat traps to members of the Community within the town. We would like the following changes to be made:

Volunteer Cat Trapping to STOP within the inner residential part of Streaky Bay.

That descision be made very clear to Community members & a substantial fine put in place for ignoring the new Bi-Law.

We require our local Council (District Council of Streaky Bay), to protect Pet owners in the Community by making these changes.
