Very correct Peter. That’s exactly the problem. Councils and Shires are just too lily livered to do the right thing. Mustn’t upset anyone must we ! Yes, we get a substantial discount on dogs if they are desexed and microchipped in SA. Something like $30 down to $10 – and each household can only have two maximum. Cats? Well, they just run free all the time.

In Victoria cats have to be registered. Local councils have the power to charge, I think, three times as much for cats that aren’t desexed, but a lot don’t even have the guts to do that.
