Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Pet owners who fail to walk their dogs daily face $2,700 fine in this Australian territory

With a population of just over 400,000, Australian Capital Territory is a federal territory of Australia containing the nation’s capital city of Canberra and some surrounding towns. It is home to numbers of institutions of the federal government, national monuments, and museums. Accordingly, you can imagine that the residents of the territory are likely conscious of welfare issues. Indeed, yes. But it’s not limited only to humans. Recently, the Animal Welfare Legislation Amendment Bill became effective to improve animal welfare in the territory. Now, owners of animals are required to provide shelter, food, and water properly. Also, they need to walk their animals at least once a day, otherwise they are fined up to AU$4,000!

What about cats that naturally don’t walk with humans? What about snakes that can’t walk but crawl? What if the owner is too weak or sick to take a walk?

At any rate, it seems that people need to be as responsible for pet animals as they are for their children.

Enjoy reading the article and learn how important animal welfare is these days.
