From speaking to residents, I know how painful loss of a pet can be, especially when it is due to theft. For several months now, I have joined others in asking what more can be done to deter pet theft and recognise the impact it has.
I am pleased to see that the Pet Theft Taskforce has made recommendations that recognise pets as more than property, strengthen registration and sharing of data to locate lost and found pets.
