Draconian bylaw aims to murder cats & dogs
Target:
The Mayor of Cape Town, South Africa
Sponsored by:
The South African, Cape Town municipality will have a bylaw in effect by December 2008 that will violate the rights of dogs and cats, and violate the constitutional rights of pet owners.
The bylaw will prohibit the owning of more than 'two of a kind' pet. Excess pets will be forcibly removed, and as the animal shelters are already swamped with rescued dogs and cats these dogs and cats will be euthanised!
A 'blanket' approach like this also targets decent, caring, loving pet owners, instead of concentrating on the actual problem areas. The problem is not with pet lovers, the problem is in the economically disadvantaged areas. The public funds mass animals sterilisation clinics. Instead of passing a horrific law like this, the council should rather fund these clinics. In addition the tax payers' money will be better spent on the policing of cruelty to animals than attempting the forced removal of loved and cared for 'excess' pets!
Civil violence is a real possibility. The newspapers are filled with comments from pet owners who will fight to the death anyone who attempts to remove their cared for pets.
This is proposed murder of pets on an unimaginable scale! How can this happen in a civillised society?
We don't have much time left to fight this horror. Please help us to reach our target of 1000 signatures asap. Sign and tell a friend. Because of the urgency of this petition, and the list only being sent once the petition closes, it would help if you write to the mayor of Cape Town. We could flood her inbox with protest emails!

To the Mayor of Cape Town, South Africa
We the undersigned
Strongly object to the Cape Town municipality proposed bylaw in effect by December 2008 that will violate the rights of dogs and cats, and violate the constitutional rights of pet owners.
The bylaw will prohibit the owning of more than 'two of a kind' pet. Excess pets will be forcibly removed, and as the animal shelters are already swamped with rescued dogs and cats these dogs and cats will be euthanised!
The problem is not with pet lovers, the problem is in the economically disadvantaged areas. The public funds mass animals sterilisation clinics. Instead of passing a horrific law like this, the council should rather fund these clinics. In addition the tax payers' money will be better spent on the policing of cruelty to animals than attempting the forced removal of loved and cared for 'excess' pets!
Civil violence is a real possibility. The newspapers are filled with comments from pet owners who will fight to the death anyone who attempts to remove their cared for pets.
This is proposed murder of pets on an imaginable scale! How can this happen in a civillised society?
We urge you to re-think this proposed bylaw. Let sanity and compassion prevail. We need stronger laws and effective implemtation thereof to stop cruelty against animals. What we don't need is a law that not only does exactly the opposite, but sanctions the mass murder of pets!
We signed the "Draconian bylaw aims to murder cats & dogs" petition!
