Cat Manifesto: The key points


- Compulsory microchipping of owned cats


- A national database of cats entering the UK legally so those entering illegally without a rabies vaccination can be identified without delay


- Updating the DangerousDogs Act to allow prosecution of owners whose dogs attack cats


- Inclusion of animal welfare in the National Curriculum


- Clear labelling of flowers, plants and household products that are toxic to cats


- Outright ban on snares


- Stricter regulation on the ownership of air guns and crossbows

srlsy, I would like this to be a discussio


the CPL are off their faces, but some interesting points raised re animal welfare at skools at stuff - sadly I dont think cat owners really give a toss about conservation / welfare as the bigger picture( otherwise they would not own cats)


its coming across as a narrow self interest group trying to marshall support by hoying in a few triggers to garner non cat owning support. It is all so utterly transparent


discuss

There are animal lovers and there are cat lovers.


I'm an animal lover. Although I would never hurt a cat, I would never keep one and let it ouside. They kill too many things just for the fun of it than to satisfy their hunger.


I think big cats are beautiful but find it very hard to watch nature programmes where you see them killing their prey. But at least they are only doing it to survive.

That would be idiotic, they just need to be taught to listen properly when the labels are read out.

    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.  
    • Yes thanks that's exactly the choices I get.  I will block and if somehow they find a way back I'll report.
