It is clear that this campaign is being organised by an elite cat loving fascists organisation who want to corner this particular trade for themselves.
It is telling that they want the government to setup a vetting process so that an “independent” body can vet the suitability of cat owners and where they will be kept, with a (cough) small administrative charge. (HINT: no more house cats!). Three guesses of who would make up this independent body!
I also see one famous cat charity (not the RSPCA) have also supported the move, despite initially campaigning against it. There change of mind coincided with the suggestion that all cat purchases will have a surcharge contribution of 10% that goes towards the good work of the cat charities. While this has little chance of becoming law, it demonstrates that money and control are the key factors in play and not the welfare of cats”

All opinions are welcomed on the forum and you have stated why you dont wish to partake. That's fine. You've made your position clear and that's that really.
I don't think Oscarsmum has done anything other than simply ask if people wish to sign, the haven't made any demands for signatures, but have provided a link and it's upto the individual concerned whether they want to or not.
The thread isn't about debating the issue, as far as I understand, the thread was made to make people aware of the existence of the petition and of the deadline, if people want to sign, fine, if they don't, as you feel, that's equally fine.
