All right, let's say for the minute that you have a point there is a far bigger threat to health and safety out there that people are forgetting - horses.

The odd tiny bit of poop in my back garden is absolutely nothing compared to the huge dolloping wadges of manure that I find outside my front door most days. Shouldn't responsible owners of horses be getting of their mounts and scooping up when their pet does the deed?

Once cats have been neutered they don't mix with other cats. I think a responsible cat owner should ensure that they have their cat neutered so that it can't go off breeding with any other cat that it so chooses.
