If there is a genuine problem here, which I am not yet fully convinced there is, I think it would be better to address it in a similar way to Australia. Here in Melbourne, I am required by law to register my cats (I have two). Local council by-laws limit me to owning two cats (unless by written exemption). My cats if outside (they never are) must be wearing council issued ID tags at all times and there are heavy penalties for breaching any of these by-laws. My cats are micro chipped and neutered. If they were not, my registration fees would be significantly higher. Many parts of Australia also have by-laws requiring cats be kept inside at night. Breaching any of these laws can mean my cats could be destroyed and/or I be heavily fined.

I think the above approach is a much more sensible way to address this.

JokezNZ: 
I think of all the problems of having my cat inside over night, and of someone late at night chasing around their cat outside to try get it inside. How is this by-law even monitored?

freitasm: Whatever you do, attacking the idea is fine. But defacing his Wikipedia page with name calling is just stupid.

Whoever has done that is an idiot.

myopinion: Wish Gareth would just go away, he seems to always be in the media. He has this tendency to think he knows everything about everything. Love the way they always call him an economist. I see that as just a glorified fortune teller.

mattwnz: So does he also think that humans should consider whether we should breed or not, or perhaps one child per family, to reduce human impact on the earth?

I honestly think that following the sale of GMK and his more limited involvement with out business interests he is bored, and looking for things to do - things that he really shouldn't have anything to do with.

He needs a better hobby

Yeah maybe I was being a bit harsh.

Satch: I honestly don't believe I have ever seen Gareth Morgan say anything positive.

Yes. I agree.

If I had that much money, I'd be on my private island letting the rest of y'all get on with whatever nonsense took your fancy secure in the knowledge that it would be pretty unlikely to ever bother me whilst I planned which country I would visit next by private jet or plane....
