You should have to have a licence, at least £100 to own a dog, and £50 for a cat, which must be neutered by law. Only licenced breeders should be permitted to breed these animals, and should be subject to frequent inspections, at their own expense. Unwanted animals, which can't be rehomed for whatever reason, should be humanely put down. It seems to me ridiculous keeping them in animal rescue sanctuaries for no good purpose.
If ownership of a dog or cat was expensive and licenced, maybe people would think twice before buying one, and realise they have to look after them in a responsible manner.
How about you start a new thread on that subject (if you desperately want to discuss it again)...

Human beings may be physically weak, but because of the way our brains developed as we evolved, I believe, we are the most dangerous species on this planet and yes to my way of thinking we have become a plague. If we don't start to seriously do something to remedy the damage we are doing, natural forces and laws will do it for us. I would not mind one bit if human beings were eventually wiped off the face of the earth - We deserve it. Wise guardians we are not. As a species we are generally greedy, selfish, violent and intolerant - we can't help ourselves (and I include myself in this description).
