Dr Chris Brown launches Fur-deral Election: “Fur Go for ALL Australians”
Dr Chris Brown wants to hear about your four-legged furry friends when it comes to the larger issues that affect them.
With a witty play on words, Brown launched the “first ever Fur-deral Election for 2019”. The election aims to ensure that the health and happiness of your furry friends is a priority to all levels of government.
It’s part of Brown’s personal mission to ensure that Australia is kept pet-friendly.
His 476,000 strong audience on Facebook got behind him and completed the ballot paper, which includes questions that the different levels of government want to know.
The ballot paper asks pet owners what the biggest issues facing their pets today are.
42 per cent of respondents answered that the biggest issue was puppy farms, with another 29 per cent answering the lack of pet-friendly rental accommodation.
However, it wasn’t all serious. Another question participants are asked is:
“If your pet could form their own political party, their biggest policy would be?”
Respondents could then choose from four options, which included more time with you, more time in the park, more treats or more homes for pets in shelters. The last answer was the favourite, with a whopping 56 per cent of respondents saying that their four-legged friend would choose that one.
People were able to nominate their pets for the Australia’s next “Fur-deral Prime Minister”, which many took up the chance to. With 2.5K comments on the above Facebook post, Dr Chris Brown fans argued their cases for their pets, whether they’re going to abolish puppy farms or help out rescues.
Many also added a cute photo of the next “Fur-deral Prime Minister”.
