One would assume that since you are capable of quoting the act, you
are
also capable of reading it. It does NOT give you 'cart blanche' a
right
to kill cats on your property, viz...
Companion Animals Act 1998 No 87 [NSW]
Part 4 Responsibilities for control of cats
(3) If a cat that is not under the effective control of some
competent
person enters any
inclosed lands within the meaning of the Inclosed Lands
Protection Act
1901 and
approaches any animal being farmed on the land, the occupier of the
land
or any
person authorised by the occupier can lawfully injure or destroy
the cat
if he or she
reasonably believes that the cat will molest, attack or cause
injury to
any of those
animals.
(4) An authorised officer who finds a cat attacking or harassing an
animal (other than
vermin) within a wildlife protection area (as defined in section 30
(1)
(b)) can
lawfully injure or destroy the cat if there is no other reasonably
practicable way of
protecting the animal.
(5) A person who takes action under the authority of this section
that
results in the injury
to or death of a cat must:
(a) take reasonable steps to ensure that an injured cat receives any
necessary
treatment, and
(b) report the matter to an authorised officer (unless the person
is an
authorised
officer) and comply with such reasonable directions as the
authorised
officer
may give for the purpose of causing the cat to be returned to its
owner
or taken
to a council pound, and
(c) take reasonable steps to inform the owner of the cat.
(6) An authorised officer is not to give a direction under this
section
for the purpose of
causing a cat to be taken to a council pound unless the authorised
officer is satisfied
that the owner of the cat cannot be identified.
(7) Nothing in this section authorises a contravention of the
(8) The authority conferred by this section to destroy a cat extends
only to authorising
the destruction of the cat in a manner that causes it to die
quickly and
without
unnecessary suffering.
..................................................
firstly the property must comply with the meaning of inclosed
land as
prescribed by the Inclosed Lands Protection Act 1901, secondly
the cat
has to be threat to a 'farmed animal', thirdly you need to comply
with
the directions in section (5), and lastly nothing may be done that
contravenes the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act 1979.
do you have any farmed animals on your property? does it constitute
'inclosed land'? if not, then you have no right to kill or
injure any
cat on your premises. and if you do so, I would suggest you would be
subject to penalties under the provision of cruelty to animals
legislation
**You are correct. However, the local animal control officer provided
me sufficient information to deal with all that. Either way, I don't
kill them. I catch them and send them to the pound.
what right do you have to trap them?
He is also putting out baits to entice his neighbors cat to enter his
property,
did he say that he was?
Yes he did,on the 18/02
"**It is indeed. Possum cages work well. A can of tuna or salmon and
the cat is caught. The average cat in Australia is reputed to kill
something like 7 native animals per year. It's appalling. Cat owners
are, in the main, a disgusting sub-set of humanity. That said, not all
are like that. A mate's wife owned a cat, so my mate arranged for a
large indoor/outdoor area to be securely fenced with chicken wire, so
the cat could play and not interact with any native species. He is in
the minority."
yes, I wasn't thinking when I asked that
