Who's For Cats campaign info
I was just tidying up the article a bit & exploring this section, noticed one of the references wasn't as described. It states in the article: "After two years in operation, the campaign has resulted in a huge increase in complaints about cats and impoundments." There was nothing to that effect in the reference. I'm going to delete this comment and instead state more info from what the reference actually provides. This was the article in question: http://www.savingpets.com.au/wp-content/uploads/WFC-Evaluation-Exec-Summary-2009.pdf. It is somewhat old now and there may also be further updates available, but for now I will just rework the inaccurate reference.

Controversy section
One paragraph has nothing to reference it and sounds pure speculation. This is what it says:

The Sunday Age was told by an alleged "well-informed source" at the society that the true number of cats adopted was only 6.5 per cent, or 1036 cats. If the society had adopted out 30.3 per cent or 4782 cats, sales would have been worth more than $250,000. Cat sales amounted to only $77,670 for 2008, according to the society's financial statement. The Society offered no comment, and the details of this report are unavailable so cannot currently be confirmed. The source of these allegations is also unconfirmed.

This paragraph has to be deleted. I have found a juicy bit of controversy though that I will be adding in. I was looking for updated statistics on euthanasia and found an article where the numbers of cats killed were a subject of controversy.

POSTSCRIPT: I found the source of the paragraph, the first part of it was quoted directly from the article: http://www.theage.com.au/victoria/cat-group-may-face-watchdog-20101127-18bjr.html. I rejigged the content so it doesn't sound so much like a bunch of unsupported information, and included the comments by the executive director to be fair.

Removing warning about multiple issues
Now that there are quite a few references it's time to remove the warning. I'm including it here in case anyone would like to see it again.

Executive director
The article stated the exec director was Ian Crook. I couldn't find anything with this name. I found lots of sources with Dr. Carole Webb, some quite recent, so made a change to the little box with the org info. Couldn't get a direct reference from the website, so I may be wrong. Webb seems to have been a vocal leader for some time. Canadianknowledgelover (talk) 10:10, 2 August 2014 (UTC)

Unused named references
Hi. I've just removed these unused references.
