The 2 cats are kept inside, for their safety, and the safety of the surrounding wildlife. As for the 2 dogs, I refuse to pay council registration for them. A lot of people ask me why I dont register them, and the answer is simple. This council provides nothing for your dog registration. It is one of them most expensive councils to register a dog as well. When I lived in Brisbane, scattered through the city and suburbs are leash free parks. These parks are fully fenced, which enables you to let your dog off the leash and let them run around while you sit back and watch. Some people call me lazy, but, I cant run as fast, or as long as my dogs can. These parks enable bigger dogs to run hard, and stretch themselves out. As for the animal control department of the council, they are fairly useless. I have seen them drive past dogs that are roaming the streets, then stop in at an address and issue the owner with a notice of some sort of infringement, and then drive off without even trying to catch the roaming animals. There are several other stories that I have been told about the animal management department, but I do not know all the details, so I will not mention them. But, if they are true, then this department should be reported to the RSPCA for these things. <BR/>This could be a good spot for people who have had to deal with the council in regards to animals to voice thier concerns. We have all been focusing on how this council has affected the people, but not our animals, or the native animals in our areaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
