00:00:01,400 --> 00:00:05,080
Speaker 1: And Amanda jam Nation down to the Jonesy demandarams of

2
00:00:05,160 --> 00:00:08,840
Speaker 1: the pub test. Cat caps do they pass the pub test? Well?

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 2: The Environment Minister Tanya Plebersek is poised to release some

4
00:00:11,840 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 2: details about an upcoming plan to cut the number of

5
00:00:14,480 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 2: feral cats to protect our wildlife. Five and a half

6
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:20,720
Speaker 2: million feral cats in Australia killing more than one point

7
00:00:20,760 --> 00:00:25,160
Speaker 2: five billion native mammals, birds, reptiles and frogs and one

8
00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,800
Speaker 2: billion invertebrates every year. So what are we going to

9
00:00:28,840 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: do that?

10
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,160
Speaker 3: Have you seen a feral cat?

11
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:31,200
Speaker 2: They're pretty savage.

12
00:00:31,240 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 3: They're not like little fluff that you have as.

13
00:00:33,360 --> 00:00:34,920
Speaker 2: The hounds, not like mister puss Puss.

14
00:00:34,960 --> 00:00:36,720
Speaker 4: No, No, there's a I've seen one.

15
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,279
Speaker 2: They're pretty savage. But that's the thing is that some

16
00:00:39,320 --> 00:00:41,760
Speaker 2: of these cats, we still have to make sure that

17
00:00:41,760 --> 00:00:45,760
Speaker 2: our domestic cats don't interbreed or intermingle. The Cat's Thread

18
00:00:45,760 --> 00:00:48,919
Speaker 2: Abatement Plan is what it's called. It's a framework designed

19
00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:50,479
Speaker 2: to maybe come up with some plans as to how

20
00:00:50,479 --> 00:00:55,160
Speaker 2: to do this, including nighttime curfews, household limits on cat numbers,

21
00:00:55,480 --> 00:00:58,720
Speaker 2: cat free suburbs. How do you feel cat cats? Do

22
00:00:58,800 --> 00:00:59,840
Speaker 2: they passed the pub test?

23
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,760
Speaker 3: I think they do pass the pub test. My daughter

24
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,800
Speaker 3: has got a few cats, but she keeps them in

25
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:08,680
Speaker 3: the house. I've seen cats killing birds native birds as well,

26
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:11,839
Speaker 3: so yeah, it's not on the escape. So yes, there's

27
00:01:11,880 --> 00:01:14,360
Speaker 3: definitely should be a cap on cat and.

28
00:01:14,280 --> 00:01:19,160
Speaker 5: How many they do. Having been a recent cat owner

29
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:22,319
Speaker 5: myself and a foster care for kittens, I believe that

30
00:01:22,360 --> 00:01:25,640
Speaker 5: they should be indoors, especially at nighttime, and they should

31
00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:28,039
Speaker 5: also have a bell on them, and they also be.

32
00:01:28,840 --> 00:01:31,360
Speaker 1: A story they get rid of them. To complain to

33
00:01:31,440 --> 00:01:34,160
Speaker 1: the council because we've got so many stray and field

34
00:01:34,200 --> 00:01:36,680
Speaker 1: cats in the area, and they replied, oh, we've got

35
00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,360
Speaker 1: no power to cats them and destroy them. You need

36
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,760
Speaker 1: to speak to your strata about it.

37
00:01:41,880 --> 00:01:45,600
Speaker 4: Well, I think all cats need to be locked up away.

38
00:01:45,319 --> 00:01:49,360
Speaker 4: They shouldn't be let room free because they do endanger

39
00:01:49,400 --> 00:01:52,160
Speaker 4: all of our wildlife. Dogs have got to be locked up,

40
00:01:52,400 --> 00:01:56,560
Speaker 4: why not cats.

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:57,840
Speaker 2: There
