To: Mayor Shire Of Melton 232 High Street, Melton 9747 7200 9743 9970 (fax) We the undersigned request That a PERMANENT NIGHT CAT CURFEW be implemented within the Melton Shire Council Region immediatly. For the following reasons The Shire is the key home to many native species of wildlife including a number of species of native frogs, lizards, snakes, birds, and mammals and 1 known species of turtle. It is also home to the federally protected and endangered Growling Grass Frog and Striped Legless Lizard. A cat curfew would greatly assist in the conservation of our native wildlife and greatly reduce the number of native wildlife killed or permanently injured each year as the result of domestic cats.
I honestly cannot believe how fast this is moving and it really just proves that I am not the only one who cares about the local frogs and lizards. It feels like the whole town is waking up to this issue now (which is great because those poor native critters really need a break) and I just have to say thanks to whoever started spreading the word.

I'm tired of finding dead birds and cat feces in my veggie patch. I would love my neighbours to take more responsibility for their pets.

I have many cats in my street constantly fighting, killing wildlife and mating all this occurs at night people need to take responsibility for their cats and bring them indoors at night. The only way to enforce this is to have the council support and educate people.

Fed up with the noise and the mess in my yard. Keep your pets inside at night so the rest of us can actually get some sleep.

My garden used to have so many little lizards and birds around but they have all vanished. Its the cats from down the street hunting them for fun. Do something about it.
