Best thing to do, is for anyone who feels that there should be positive action 
by State and Federal governments regarding feral cat control, is to write to 
the State and Federal Ministers and your State and Federal MPs (don't forget 
your state's Senators). With MPs, it is probably best to send the letters to 
their electoral offices, then they are less likely to be caught up in the great 
Parliament House filter.

Nothing will happen if we all sit on our hands, saying "someone should do 
something about it.
