CATastrophe!

Catastrophe!
Citizens of the UK, we have a problem!
This is a very serious problem that I think we all need to be aware of, we need to do something about it NOW before the problem gets worse.
There is a vermin problem in the UK that is now out of control and the time has come to make everyone aware of this epidemical problem.

Did you know there are an estimated 500 million domestic Cats in the world? Almost 8 million here in the UK. The number is expected to double over the next ten years and that would surely be a Catastrophe!
I just don’t think people realise how much of a problem this is and sadly most people are just oblivious to this as they go about in their blinkered ways.

Why do we live in such a hypocritical society? You see we have the nerve to go about classing some wild animals as ‘vermin’, and yet we keep Cats as pets when they are possibly the worst vermin of them all.

Diseases
Zoonosis (the spread of diseases from animals to humans) is common among Cats, many children catch Roundworm and Ringworm from both Cats and Dogs. The deseese can also cause children to go blind.
Many parents buy cute kittens for their children and i think everyone should be made aware of these threats they pose.

Cats are the most deadliest of stalkers and a perfect hunting machine, if you ever watch a Cat you will see how they are always alert and ready to kill anything that moves. A Cat will appear lazy and slow, as if conserving energy, but as soon as anything runs by he springs into action immediately, with a ferocious burst of energy.

Domestic Cats kill more wildlife in this country than any other animal. Cats have a massive impact on our garden bird population, often raiding their nests for the chicks or killing the adults as they forage for food. Cats also kill Rats, Mice, Voles, Moles, Shrews and countless species of insects, all of which are all a vital part of countryside.

Cats also foul our gardens and, bread all year round producing kittens that end up as feral Cats and reek devastation on our wildlife. They are also known to bread with our native Scottish Wildcat and so devastating the population of these native animals.

Cull
People always bang on about Rats, Mice, Moles, Foxes Badgers, Grey Squirrels, Mink, Otters and other animals, classing them as ‘Vermin.'
It is legal to kill most of those animals, in fact it’s only recently that Otters have become a protectedanimal.
All of the above-mentioned animals, with exception to the introduced Grey Squirrel and Mink, are very important wild animals in the UK, they all need protecting. So if it is ok to kill Greys Squirrels and Mink because they don’t belong here and are a pest, then why doesn’t the same apply to our introduced domestic Cats?

Come on citizens of the UK, wake up and let’s get this problem sorted. It's time to have a mass Cull and if it means getting rid of Grandma’s little 'Tiddles,' then so it shall be; it is for the good of our Green and pleasant land!
