General notes       Each jurisdiction has firearms and animal welfare legislation that must be adhered to.  Where the use of dogs is permitted, they are only to be used to point or flush feral cats, or retrieve feral cats, not to kill feral cats.  All poisons are regulated by APVMA.                                           Regulations lie in relevant animal welfare legislation, or cat management legislation (Tasmania), or game and feral animal control legislation (NSW).  Regulations lie in relevant animal welfare legislation.  None.

Appendix 6. Indicative relationship of actions in this plan with those in the preceding threat abatement plan

The cross-tabulation (Table 24) broadly aligns actions described in the previous (2015) threat abatement plan (2015 TAP) (left column) with comparable actions in this plan (2024 TAP) (right column). Note that some of these alignments may overlap only partly; and note that actions in this threat abatement plan may appear more than once.
