Abolish the imposed 24 Hour Cat Curfew

The issue

Based on a poll (that obviously no one knew about) of only 234 people, 60% supported a 24 hour cat curfew for the Yarra Ranges. Thats 140 people in a population of approx 145,000. The fact that a law can be introduced based on that is unbelievable. What about the other 144,766 people who did not have the opportunity to have their say? Here it is. Let the council know what you think.

UPDATE: Apparently the YR Council have said that residents can email them at mail@yarraranges.vic.gov.au to raise any concerns. Use the topic 'Cat Curfew'. I'd encourage everyone who want's to be heard to do this as well as signing this page.

Hi. It seems this petition is growing fast. I agree with some of the comments made here. I think the 24hr cat curfew is impractical and won't work, and I am not a supporter of it. However, I believe Council is committed to it and won't abolish it so soon. PS: For petitions to be put on the record officially at Council, they need to include the addresses of the signatories.
