THIS is unconscionable. Imagine a simple thing like this is so hard to fix by those in authority.
Once animals are picked up and taken to the animal pound, they should be kept for no less than 24 hours, since it will cost nothing much to feed them.If the owners of these stray animals don’t show up to pay the fine and pick up their animal/s, then some animals could be sacrificed to feed the poor, and some of the zoo animals.
Government can win lots of favour with very poor people who can’t afford to buy meat. You bet the poor will line up for their daily meat on an ongoing basis, until owners take responsibility for their animal/s.
I know one draycart driver who would work his horse all day long, having the animal pull the cart with heavy loads; and at the end of the work day, he would loose the horse to stray and forage for its own food and water.
A person like that is nothing short of a cruel beast, and I bet there are many more who do this with their animal/s.
