Britain's 'sadistic' cats must be muzzled to save UK wildlife says Peer, who compares them to 'the Nazis over-running the Maginot Line'.
Britain's domestic cats must muzzled to avoid native birds being "hunted to extinction" according to a prominent peer.
Viscount Monckton referenced fresh research from the University of Reading and Royal Holloway College, University of London, which suggested cats kill significantly more small animals than previously thought. "A cat curfew might be hard to enforce, but muzzles are a simple solution."Dog-owners are obliged to keep their dogs in their own gardens, or under close control when they take them for a walk. No such rule applies to cats.
It also concluded collar bells don't work, with those cats that had one fitted on average killing more animals than those which didn't. "They get fed by their owners and given veterinary care, so you could consider them mini super-predators."
