Mr Helper – WHAT IS your agenda against animals? Your continual push for these barbaric and archiac laws,for dogs in particular is disturbing. Over the past few years, you alongside the DPI have fought and brought in legislation which targets all pet owners, this includes ones that do act & care responsibly for their pets. Is your wish to have no pets within in the community? The chlldren of tomorrow will not be able to grow & learn how to look after and care for an animal, if you have your way. Animals as pets do have many benefits for society. Ensuring your facts are accurate, you are not good at, neither is listening to the many thousands of people that have animals as pets and are responsible. Stop the Puppy Farmers and the selling of pets from pet shops as you and the RSPCA have been asked to look at for a long time. This would go a long way to ease the issue. 28 days – hmmmmmm

Dear Mr. Helper,

I do not understand why this rule should be enforced. Please abolish this rule as it is not the animals fault that it has been given up for adoption, saved from horrible owners or any other reason that involves people the majority of the time. Please remove this rule as there are great dogs out there who will miss out on that loving home just because red tape is the decision. Also those who want to be Foster carers and the shelters should have the right to decided how long the animal live with them. It is the shelters not the politicians who should be deciding this.

Please do something as soon as possible to end this barbaric law. These wonderful animals deserve a second chance at finding a loving home. Education is the key – educating us “Humans” on how to treat animals properly

Dear Mr Helper, lets abolish this disgusting rule so that these unhomed, unwanted cats can be given a second chance. It is not their fault that they have ended up in their situation in the first place. These animals need a loving home of their own where they can be a permanent fixture. Education is the key as well as the offering of a subsidized desexing program. Rather than do the quick fix of destroying these vulnerable animals, put together resources to find out why there are so many that are finding their way into this killing area and do something about these issues. Please take away this barbaric and archaic law, give these animals a second chance of finding a good and stable home.

Joe we have had enough the 28 day rule is cruel and barbaric, this should be put a stop to straight away. Animals have the right to live and at least have a chance of going to a lovely home, it is not their fault that uncaring horrible humans that dont do the right thing and these poor beautiful babies suffer, you can help STOP this it should be no kill shelters everywhere, where has the love and compassion gone, well i have it i do hope you do too.
