You love your pet and consider him an irreplaceable member of your family. You care for him, celebrate his birthday, and work hard to keep him happy and healthy. You would be devastated if he ever became lost. You would want someone to care for him and try and return him to you
It might be hard to think about, but your local pound is a dangerous place. Disease, mistreatment and unnecessary killin
g is 'business as usual' in our Australian animal management system. In fact, the biggest risk to the life of any healthy pet in this country is getting lost; and being impounded and killed. That is why I need your help. Hundreds of pets die every single month in local council pounds due to mix-ups, accidental killing, improper scanning of microchips, paperwork bungles and pound-acquired fatal diseases. Your pet could be the next victim. Even if you have done everything a ‘responsible’ owner can and should do, your pet could be killed simply for becoming lost. Worse, if your pet does die at the hands of your local council pound, you will not be compensated. You might even still be fined! This needs to change.
- If you think killing pets unnecessarily is wrong,
- If you think our pets deserves the very best care and a world-leading animal management system, and
- If you want pounds to be safe for all pets (including your own),
Please join me in this fight to make safe pounds a reality.
