Petition Introduce legal requirement for annual licensing on each domestic cat ownership

An annual renewable licence for each cat with the requirement to;
Microchip
Owners to have responsibilities for damage to gardens and property caused by their cat.
Keep cats indoors at night (Curfew)
Prosecution for damage to birds and nests (Wildlife and Countryside Act 1981)

More details

Cats are destroying wildlife. Many species of bird have become almost extinct. Cats spread deadly disease. Toxoplasmosis can get into vegetables that grow in our gardens when cats defecate on the surrounding soil causing a lifetime incurable parasite that destroys the immune system and can cause death.

Bring in the laws that they have in Australia such a licence and the requirement to keep cats indoors at night
