Obviously the killing instinct has not yet been outbred, but the cats we've had over the decades have rarely killed wildlife.

Foxes killing 'for fun' is another matter and something I've never experienced but apparently they WILL kill more chickens than they need to eat, any time they have the opportunity.
Maybe they just don't like chickens.......

Re: Should we ban cat ownership.

Ban cat ownership?

Is it even possible to own a cat?
I've had a fair few fabulous feline house guests, who have deigned to allow me to be their landlady and slave, but I've never 'owned' a cat in my life!

I have no objection to dogs in our area provided they are well under control, and their owners pick up after them, but those that are a nuisance should be culled. I would be more than happy to do it myself if it were legal.
You are one seriously messed up human being.

Should we also ban humans ?


I'm all in favour of looking closely at animal cruelty .
I would strongly dispute those figures. And if eating animals is a choice then so is eating fruit, vegetables, nuts and fish. The human body requires many vitamins and minerals, it is well equipped to deal with a variable diet including meat. Vegetarians always seem to take the high moral ground. It's a fact of life that animals eat other animals, and humans are no different. I do not have a problem with vegetarians or vegans, you can eat [or not eat] what you like, but don't try and make me feel guilty for eating meat.....Bon apertit
