The answer is not to regulate foster carers or, god forbid, reduce the already meagre level of support provided to animals. Surely, it makes more sense to ensure that animals can only be adopted through these shelters rather than through private measures or puppy farms. It makes no sense at all to try to regulate the goodwill of thousands of individuals who give their time, energy and funds to care for animals in need? Wake up and tackle the causal issues rather than trying to ‘band aid’ what is only deemed a problem because of gross mismanagement of the issue in the first place. This ill-thought plan to regulate foster care for animals goes completely against the grain of what should be encouraged in society – the care of those who cannot care for themselves. I am shocked to know that the party I have voted for all my life would even consider trying to legislate this. If we want to grow a compassionate society, surely we have to begin with those who have no voice!

All my pets are rescued animals and they have brought me and my family so much pleasure. I say hands off foster care, we do it for free, we ask for nothing and we enjoy it and the joy it brings people is nit measurable by paper work or by government jerks who obviously have no respect for life. Let’s face it if they did they would pass legislation quicker for Oscars Law and compulsory desexing.

Foster carers are needed and should be greatly supported as they have saved many dogs, cats etc which were to be euthanaised but instead ended up being placed in loving homes and are very happy today. Those responsible for assessing an animal to see if they are rehomeable should be the ones assessed as there are many dogs and cats that have been killed which could have been rehomed (all animals suffer/stress in pounds) so how can someone assess them in that state. Australia needs to have a NO KILL POLICY and a strong measure on breeding. A dog and cat should not be bred every year manybe 2-3 times in it’s life. This would solve many problems and the government needs to take action here because this is the ROOT OF THE PROBLEM. There are MANY rehoming services around Australia trying to save these poor cats and dogs yet so many still fall and are euthanaised WHY because there are far too many greedy people breeding and not for the love of the animal but for the love of the $$$’s if this was controlled, there would not be so many dogs and cats abandoned and killed. These poor animals are not only abandoned but lose their live because of peoples greed. I say Foster carers are needed until the government wakes up and takes stronger action AGAINST PUPPY BREEDERS (when there will be no more animals in pounds). Why is this so hard to do ?? AUSTRALIA NEEDS TO STOP THIS KILLING and have a “NO KILL POLICY” this is a barbaric act against our best friends and to show the rest of the world we are civilised.
