Did you know that if your dog or cat leaves home, your BFF is taking a BIG risk:
- Injury from fighting risks lifelong problems and expensive vet bills.
- Unrestrained dogs on farmland are at risk of being shot to protect livestock.
- Cats on farmland are at risk of being treated like a feral, and trapped or shot to protect wildlife like the endangered Regent Honeyeater.
Southern New England Landcare embarked on a project to raise awareness about problems surrounding feral cats and Indian Mynas. As part of this project, we promoted responsible pet ownership among our local communities through our campaign 'Where was your BFF today?'
