Cat lovers have been left hissing at a proposal to restrict areas where their beloved pets are allowed to roam and hunt wildlife.
With some 27 million birds slain each year, a new report is advising the Scottish Government to take drastic measures that include keeping cats locked inside - and even banning ownership altogether.
The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission (SAWC) also suggested setting up ‘cat containment areas’ - designated parts of the country where compulsory restrictions could be put in place to prevent pet cats from roaming and hunting.
Shouldn’t’ve let your cat outside in the first place. They’re ecoterrorists and it’s dangerous for them as well.
I say this as a lifelong cat owner. Outdoor cats live significantly shorter and more stressful lives.
I feel like letting cats roam free is a big reason why I see so many missing cat posters. I doubt most of them are from cats sneaking outside
