Rejected petition Criminalise cat ownership in Sawtry.

The innocent village of Sawtry, Cambridgeshire has, over the last couple of decades, seen a drastic influx of certain unwanted pests.

I'm talking of course about cats. I would like to make illegal any ownership of the animals in the village so as they might eventually be eradicated.
