SNP to consider banning cats. Owners could be forced to keep pets indoors or, in some cases, prohibited from owning them, to protect wild animals

  2. Can’t say I disagree. Cats are an absolute menace to local biodiversity. They need to kept indoors like dogs do.

  3. As a person who is severely allergic to cats.. this is a terrible idea.

    However I do think they should be banned from stores like Tesco where a local woman that works there has hers sit in the store and wait for her. while it destroys stock and can harm customers…just a dickhead move on her part.

    But imagine if you banned them out in public they would need to destroy all stray cats too

  4. Roll this down where I am in England please. Cats shit all over peoples gardens, they have been killing animals and leaving their carcases all over, and recently a few have taken up the wonderful hobby of fight club in the street at night.

    Someone near me has sent out a warning to owners he will start shooting them with an air rifle if they’re in his land because they’ve attacked a chicken coop and making a mess of his garden, and can’t say I blame him.

  5. What a silly idea. It would be impossible to keep a cat indoors that is used to going outside. They’ve hunted birds for as long as they’ve existed and they’re still about aren’t they?!

  7. I keep my cats indoors. But I would go to war for them. I’d rather move than get rid of them.

  9. A completely unserious policy from an unserious party.

  11. This is, for want of better phrase a dead cat story, whilst we are all looking at this ludicrous nonsense…. What are they doing in the background… what’s is the real story.

  13. When cat owners are made as responsible for cleaning up cat shite as dog owners are, I’m pretty sure they’ll all become indoor cats.

  14. An SNP policy I agree with. I suppose it had to happen one day.

  15. Don’t they have wild cats in Scotland? What are they gonna do with them?

  16. They’ve done it here in Sydney. If your house borders onto bush, have to keep cat indoors

  17. Was it 600k the SNP couldn’t account for ..and their vile policies , they are tone deaf

  18. Black plague anyone a certain pope banned cats and then realised it was a mistake when plague hit

  19. Wow!

    It’s not 1st April is it?

    The Telegraph with another Scotland bad story!

  20. Humans take away their land and then invent chemicals and traps to keep them away.

    I mean, who the hell invented them things they have on large building rooftops in city centres that don’t kill or prevent pigeons sitting down, but just causally removes and disfigures a leg or two?

    They sell outdoor bug zappers on QVC, OUTDOOR bug zappers. Like, seriously…

    How can the human race point there little greedy destructive fingers at cats and say with a straight face – cats are the problem?

  22. About time I’m sick of the little bastards shitting in my garden

  23. Then do dogs too. Dogs do untold damage to wildlife and their owners let them shit everywhere or hang the poo bags in a tree like some kind of moron.
