Submitted by DAWN MARIE MOORE – Deadline to sign up by: 01 December 2007 – Signatures: 24
There are many laws for the dog owner ie. clean up its mess, have an id tag, keep it under control. Why do we have to clean up after a neighbours cat? They don't clean up after our dogs! Why is it possible to report a dog for barking (noise nuisance), yet the dog is only barking at their cats in your garden? If the dog owner legally has a responsibility to control their pet, shouldn't the cat owner too? Cat faeces is dangerous to a pregnant woman, yes, dog faeces also contains toxic germs that are harmful but if you have chosen to own a dog then you have chosen to clean up its mess. What choice do we have with neighbours cats? To leave its mess in our gardens? That is not fair! Cats wander the streets, scavange through rubbish and often leave dead animals on your doorstep. If a dog was to kill a cat it would be classed as a dangerous animal so why is it seen as normal for a cat to attack or kill a bird or mouse? It's been known for cats to attack dogs leaving them with deep cuts needing stitches or even the loss of an eye! The laws in place today are very unfair! Please sign this petition and even out the odds. Its time cat owners take responsibility for their pets!
