For a huge animal lover, and especially cat lover such as myself, this is terrible to hear!

Thanks for the ReBlog and spreading the word. Perhaps if we could collectively shame the Aussie gov’t, they would change their inhumane policies toward animals.

Protesting will hopefully make them aware they are not doing the right thing and they do not have the support and consent of the people. Shame on you Environment Minister of Australia!
Let’s hope so, Maddie.
Hope comes from action, the more ppl get involved, the more hope!
