Sir, - After finally admitting, by the intent to abolish the present quarantine regulations for cats and dogs, that the existing law is outdated, cruel and totally unnecessary, why does the Government now take another three years to implement the changes?
With such alternatives as the microchip, passports for pets, etc. and with veterinary science being so advanced, why procrastinate, causing further hardship to God's creatures and their owners? - Yours, etc., Laura Burke,
Herbert Park Lane, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4.
