Petition Action

Cats are destroying wildlife. Many species of bird have become almost extinct.

Petition Details

Bring in cat licensing, for each domestic cat which must be renewed yearly.

Additional Information

Cats are destroying wildlife. Most households have at least one free roaming cat, but many more keep multiple cats. Many species of bird have become almost extinct. Cats spread deadly disease. Toxoplasmosis can get into vegetables that grow in our gardens when cats defecate on the surrounding soil causing a lifetime incurable parasite that destroys the immune system and can cause death. Bring in the laws that they have in Australia.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you are concerned about the impact on other wildlife of domestic cats, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do.

We could accept a petition calling for the Government to require people who own cats to have a licence, but it would need to be clear what, if any, requirements you wanted to be imposed on owners of cats.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
