Dog and Cat Management (Miscellaneous) Amendment Bill

Final Stages

The Legislative Council agreed to amendments Nos 2 to 5 made by the House of Assembly without any amendment; disagreed to amendment No. 1 for the reason indicated in the annexed schedule. The Legislative Council returns the bill herewith and desires its reconsideration:

No. 1. Clause 5, page 5, lines 31 and 32 [clause 5(8), inserted definition of 'desex']—Delete the definition and substitute:

'desex' means to castrate or spay an animal so as to permanently render the animal incapable of reproducing (and 'desexed' has a corresponding meaning);

Schedule of the reason for disagreeing with the foregoing amendment:

Because the council prefers its position in the bill.

The Hon. J.J. SNELLING: I move:

That the amendment be insisted on.

Motion carried.
