Cats could be banned from going outside under new Australian law

Cats could be banned from going outdoors during certain hours under laws to tackle the number of strays in Western Australia.

Government officials in Perth are reviewing cat and dog legislation after a rise in complaints about stray animals.

Proposed changes to the Cat Act 2011 could see felines forced to stay indoors permanently or given curfews that limit them from going outdoors between sunrise and sunset.

Roz Robinson, who runs Cat Haven, said the welfare organisation supports keeping pet cats indoors or in purpose-built outdoor enclosures.

She also called for the mandatory neutering age to be reduced from six to three months.

Greek Coca-Cola Heir Caught on St. Kitts with $1.3 Million in Marijuana

Greek-Cypriot billionaire Alkiviades “Alki” David, 50, heir to Coca-Cola’s Greek operations, was arrested on the Caribbean Island of St. Kitts after a search of his private jet uncovered more than $1.3 million worth of cannabis on board, media reports said.

David claimed the plants on board were “all hemp” and were related to a new venture to start a legal cannabis business in the region.

The UK-based publication estimates David is independently worth more than $2.8 billion.

He lives on the Isle of Man.
