TCT Cat Containment Survey

The Tasmanian Conservation Trust is calling on all cat owners and non-cat owners in Tasmania who are interested in cat management to complete its online Cat Containment Survey.

The state government has proposed amending the Cat Management Act 2009 to make it compulsory for pet cats to be contained on their owner’s property. The Tasmanian Conservation Trust wants to know how likely Tasmanian cat owners and non-owners are to support such a proposal. And we would like their ideas for how we might increase support for the compulsory confinement.

The TCT Director Peter McGlone said today that “The results of this survey will be collated and provided to the State Government’s Cat Management Reference Group to assist it with developing a strategy for addressing cat confinement.”

The survey only a few minutes. You can choose to be anonymous. Just go to: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/PQYB5NZ

Or go to the TCT’s Facebook or Twitter (@TasConservation) – we are using the hash tag #catsurvey.

“If you are visiting the Sustainable Living Festival this weekend then come to the TCT’s stall and do the survey with us.” Mr McGlone added.

“We would welcome any questions or observations about the practicalities of containing cats.”

“Don’t miss out, the survey closes at 12 midnight on 25 November 2016.”

“As of this morning nearly 1100 people had completed the survey but we want many more.”
