Closed petition The law needs to change to make Cat owners wholly Liable for damages caused inside other peoples property by their cats

Closed on

l want the government to change the law to make cat owners wholly liable for damages their pets cause INSIDE other peoples property.
At present cat owners can escape claims/prosecution for damages due to out of date legislation.
Victim's of cat damage have no legal rights to recover damage costs. This is a breach of peoples human rights to be able to live in their own property without damage from other peoples cats.
