In order to protect the rare birds in the UK, the British residential area is forbidden for residents to raise pet cats

According to the British "Mirror", residents in a new residential community in Kent, England will be banned from raising cats to protect local rare birds from attacks. It is reported that the Royal Bird Protection Association (RSPB) and the Nature England (Natural England) proposed that the cats raised by the residents of the residential area may threaten the safety of the local nightingale. Therefore, the development company responsible for building a house has passed a " The policy of prohibiting cats is forbidden. The proposed development project of 68 houses near Crif Forest in Rochester, Kent Prefecture, is very close to the location with special scientific values ​​(that is, Chaden Forest and Mountain). A letter saying that the place is a very important nightbale habitat in Britain. This bird is usually built in a place near the ground, which makes them easily attacked by predators.

The Royal Bird Protection Association stated in the letter: "The local proposed new residential area will have a negative impact on the local nightingale, including but not limited to noise and artificial lighting, entertainment interference (where residents allow residents to enter ) And the predation of cats raising cats. "Council Chris Buckwell said that such a banned cat order is meaningless because residents living around the residential area will not be subject to similar regulations. Developers said they will set up a management company to supervise the implementation of the "banned cat policy". The Modwell Committee finally agreed to the plan and promised to cooperate with the company to implement the regulation.

Two weeks ago, the Bath Coast County Council, located in southeastern Melbourne, Australia, announced that the cat was banned from running outdoors, which caused the pet owner's anger. From July next year, cats will not be able to wander around the street, and offenders will be fined $ 180 at a time. ALI Wastie, CEO of the Bath Coast County Council, said: "For cats, the best is to control them. We also have penguins and a large number of wild animals to protect, and the only way to protect wildlife safety is to control Live these cats. "(Compiled by China Youth Network)
