I read the news story and the comment piece (both written by a certain Jimmy Thompon, if I’m not wrong).
I’m glad all this is being looked at but where can I see the latest please? Doesn’t sound like it’s at all done’n’dusted, any further chances to contribute? Any possibility of posting a link?
Pets are good, but I’m worried about the welfare of pets in apartments. We have an exotic cat residing opposite us and when its owner, a thirty-ish single girl who works long hours, the poor moggy meows for hours. It’s disturbing as it seems distressed, not so much because of the noise. Downstairs, there’s the cutest small dog and the the owner-couple not only work long hours but also go to the gym, running and cycling without Fido. He’s pretty well behaved and they have a dog walker for an hour every weekday (which must cost a bit) but the poor little fella must get awfully lonely.
Must be comforting but seems self indulgent, having a pet in an apartment to me. If only they could talk. “Pleeesaaaassssseee don’t leave me alone today…”
