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.

    • This might be a better picture.  
    • I don't think anyone would object to the examples you have given being given space in the noticeboard (Theatre Peckham is a registered charity) and I think reflect the original intentions behind their introduction. I would not like to see advertisements for purely commercial enterprises e.g yoga studios, cafes, tradesmen which would not be in keeping with the original purpose.
    • Multiple complaints and reports of the leak but no barrier as of 4.30pm today. Shockingly bad form especially as they had TW engineers on site across the road this morning. Fix one, another bursts. Lots of residents without water in this hot weather, just terrible...
    • I agree... perhaps you could also write to our local councillors to point these things out. Never know they might actually reply! Thanks for your help speaking to Monica. She may hopefully have useful contacts re obtaining a key. Completely agree - what's on (which could include some small businesses  such as Theatre Peckham, which I think may be a charity or at least community not for profit? And school fairs type thing..) plus anything the community would find useful, such as free events for the elderly (LinkAge are active in ED and surrounding areas) and lots more.
