Give it a rest, the law is quite clear a cats owner is not responsible
for what the cat does.
Indeed you may be shocked to discover that a farmer is not obliged to
keep his animals off your land, that is your responsibility to maintain
the boundry (except the highways where they do have a responsibility to
prevent stock from wandering)

A completly different set of laws says it is illegal to cause harm or
suffering to any animals. a further set of laws says that you may not
cause harm or disturbance to wild animals without a licence, the
exceptions being those animals designated vermine.


And yet again another post defending the antisocial behaviour of cat
owners.

As there is no legal way of stopping the problem then is it not
unreasonable for others who do not share this view to perhaps act in an
illegal way when they get fed up with other peoples pets constantly
s*****g in their gardens?

should you dissagree with the laws in this country then use your vote to
change them, if you find that you are in the minority and you can not get
them changed either move or shut up about it.

In reality people use their vote for more important things.

If someone wants to deliberately poison the local cat population then
they are very unlikely to ever be caught. The Police don't even respond
to more serious crimes and the local authority hasn't got the money to
waste on pointless investigation.
