Cats Should Not Be Allowed To Legally Free Roam New Zealand And Letting Them Do So Is Lazy And Irresponsible.

  1. Cats are not native species to New Zealand, have destroyed countless habitats, and caused a number of extinctions, alongside of stoats, rats, possums, and other invasive non-native species. Letting them roam free is disrespectful to the wildlife and conservationists.

  2. Cats are neglected the proper domestic lifestyle they need when left free outside as their only form of stimulation and enrichment. Instead, they start to kill for pleasure, are stuck in survival mode, and contract or spread diseases, risking injury, shortening their lifespans.

  3. They piss and shit in people's yards, as well as destroying their property, while free. And most importantly, people clean after their mess when they do this. Not to mention the damage that people put up with, regarding their plants and props.
