Dear Readers, just returned from my travels to South Australia and have taken a photo of the solitary cat. I must thank the people who come to feed it as it is still alive and looks to be in fairly good condition, although mentally I reckon it will be in a dreadful way, after 4 years of absolute solitude.

I publish 2 readers comments, as below, from Deborah and Edith, which are self explanatory. I can assure readers that while people are prepared to continue the fight by supporting this petition I shall continue to update.

I still have much to say, especially about RSPCA NSW, Cowra Council, and the Dept of Primary Industries NSW. They all seem to show no or very little regard for animal welfare, and every update sees an increase in reader numbers, so that people may be much better informed of what is going on with these organisations. Another body which has been informed about the situation at Camp Kitty is the Animal Justice Party. They do not seem bothered to help either (see comment by Edith).

I wish everyone a happy Xmas and please do not give up with the fight. If you are on Facebook or a similar internet body just encourage others to sign. Please just spread the word!! Thanks Keith

100% agree with you Keith: "I urge any reader who has the time to please pursue this with him [The Chair is Mark Pearson (AJP, LC Member)], and also to check and sign the other change.org petitions that not only expose animal cruelty in NSW but in other States." I say ENOUGH is ENOUGH! Innocent voiceless animals, creatures of all kinds, need protection from those that abuse AND that includes Government organisations, departments AND politicians. To NOT ACT is in itself ABUSE! Our politicians are public servants suppose to listen to, to represent and act on the wishes of the public who voted them into position and who are paid by taxpayers. Disgustingly many sit back and turn a chosen blind eye, or choose to inflame a situation by not investigating the facts and/or they ask the actual 'abuser/s' to 'self-review' the situation and/or complaint and then say it has been 'looked at'. The concerned person is then fobbed off and wrongfully and conveniently label as a 'vexatious complainant' because the politician/s or other person/s of position is/are getting too many email complaints from a concerned person/s – Why do concerned people keep writing? Firstly their concern often doesn't get past the 'front desk' and when it does they either get a generic letter saying your concern/s are being looked at or they get NO REPLY at all! Caring concerned people get upset, frustrated, desperate for help, for a solution to stop the abuse and protect the animal/s (humans) in question. People keep writing because no one is being accountable, no one is being responsible, no one is listening, no one is acting on behalf of the innocent and abused and no one is stopping the abuse! Those that can do something for the most don't give a damn! They show this by their silence and inaction or fobbing off! All those that are suppose to care for, protect and uphold the laws of animal welfare (and human welfare also for that matter!) do your jobs responsibly and be accountable – STOP ABUSE NOW!

Comment from Edith -

Two years ago I wrote numerous letters to Mark Pearson regarding Camp Kitty and was referred to his secretary whose answers were not only rude but she made it clear that a politician can't interfere where the RSPCA is involved. The RSPCA has her full trust and support, hence no actions on behalf of the Animal Justice Party and Mark Pearson. Sorry to disappoint everyone who has hopes that Mark Pearson will do something about it. My experience has been totally negative and disappointing.
