You are right, I think there need to be stricter animal welfare laws, but of course laws are no good unless they are enforced. I think the problem would stop escalating quite so badly if everyone neutered their animals - hopefully that is starting to change, little by little. Every bit helps.

Until people are brought to account for what they do, there is no way of making them stop. But few things worth having are achieved without a fight, so we all need to keep fighting.Writing from the Edgehttp://lorely-writingfromtheedge.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4187537404576478234.post-29782766141392703592013-11-22T12:09:43.955+00:002013-11-22T12:09:43.955+00:00Thanks Miranda.
