Feral cats kill about 3.2 million mammals, 1.2 million birds, 1.9 million reptiles and 250,000 frogs per day in Australia, most of which are native species. They have been a main driver of 27 animal extinctions in Australia. https://t.co/VIopvDIUnP

@bradpettitt Thank you @bradpettitt for your unwavering support and guidance from the beginning - even this week as you delivered an incredible speech in Parliament on the issue. You're a legend and I'm extremely grateful for your help (on many issues), thank you!

Thank you to all of the community members who rallied to fill out petitions, made deputations at council meetings, completed surveys, spoke up on talk-back radio, or shared thoughts online - Your efforts gave other local councils the courage to implement cat laws.

It only took 6 years!

From a community petition back in 2019, endless council debates (both in Freo and across WA), four Local Government Ministers and repetitive media coverage - we finally have a commitment from Hannah Beazley MLA to amend the Cat Act in 2026

Thank you!

We have data to prove foxes roam considerable distances across multiple local government boundaries.
A coordinated response of multiple local governments must occur if we're serious about protecting urban wildlife - Take a listen to how we're tackling the issue.

As Chair, I'm hopeful this unprecedent approach from Perth South West will create a framework for the entire Swan Coastal Plain and give our unique fauna a fighting chance.

Should your elected members declare party affiliations?
I moved a Motion at a recent council meeting to see affiliations declared at the City of Fremantle. Here’s how it all went down…..

Local governments in Tasmania are developing a single position on cat #management - pets, strays & ferals. The lowest hanging fruit is to prevent #petcats from roaming. We've been talking on this for way too long, it's time for effective action nationwide.

🐈‍⬛ @tanya_plibersek is preparing to release a nationwide scheme to cut the feral cat population and protect wildlife reports @smh today.

The plan could require state governments to pass laws that empower local governments to be able to impose restrictions on pets, such as caps on the number of cats per household, curfews and containment requirements.

WA & NSW are the only states where local governments do not have a clear mechanism to implement confinement laws for pet cats. A solution is needed now to solve the shocking welfare issues for pet cats & wildlife that come from allowing pet cats to roam.

WA’s peak feral cat management organisation says the State Government needs to reform its laws to stop domestic cats from roaming the streets. https://t.co/FSOW2qAuNV

“We want to move towards a position where cat containment is seen as the right thing to do because it’s better for cats, it’s better for wildlife, it’s better for people" - @WAFCWG & @CatHavenWA pursuing solutions for responsible pet cat ownership in WA.

In parliament I asked about how the recently discovered Yanchep jumping spider might be protected.
The answer: there’s no protections and the WA Government isn’t interested in putting any in place.
Another unique WA species will now go extinct for sprawl

Honoured to sit alongside Boyd Wkyes, Michael Lohr, Robert Davis and Tegan Douglas at a recent Q&A following the screening of 'Night Calling'

The screening coincided with International Owl Awareness Day and was hosted by @BirdlifeOz

Thanks to Mandy Bamford for organising!

[Adin Lang @lang_adin]

International Cat Day - it is time for Western Australians to rethink what it means to be a responsible pet cat owner. We need to do better when it comes to managing our pet cats.

5 more years of carnage. Let's get on with it and protect our unique and treasured wildlife.

Experts worry WA is in for five years of ‘carnage’ as welfare groups call for cat laws to change https://t.co/VehVFaeYIP @CatHavenWA @lang_adin @DrBruceWebber @susanhuntPerth
