Some pointed questions might be asked about the millions of animals killed every year by said cats. I think a 'Feathered Lives Matter' campaign would work. Check your feline privilege, you vertical slitty-irised devils!
The CPL
And RSPCA
Have stated that Licensing airguns will make it easy for the culprits to be traced.
As in -you have a driving Licence so you did the hit and run.
I actually saw an RSPCA Inspector say this on TV.
Her interviewer did not challenge this ludicrous statement.
Both probably watched too much CSI.

Are cats allowed free reign in the UK? The owner has no responsibility for their trespass?
Thinking that the owner fined for the problems associated with their pet may cure this problem faster then new air gun laws.
I can instantly smell when a male cat had urinated in my wife's garden. It's pungent and disgusting. As well as the direct burial of the droppings in her garden.
I've little patience for them, and we are on a farm. No neighbors for quite a distance. Fortunately they are easily captured in a live cage trap and " relocated"
The newly hatched quail pheasant and turkeys appreciate this I'm sure, although they are also clueless about the big picture.
I can tell You now. I will be keeping My airguns .I will not be buying a license and I will shoot them on My own property when ever I choose too!!!!
The best bit I heard on the end of the BBC item today was the cat protection league speculated that the increase in deaths vs injuries depite overall incidents going down was due to airguns becoming more powerful over the past 20 years???? I must have missed that change in legislation somewhere as the 12 ft/lb limit has been around for ages.
Listen you cat hating morons more songbirds are killed by squirrels than cats so stop fantasising about killing animals that are more loved than you will ever be.

I think you should chill out we are not cat hating morons we are hunters that use airguns among other guns to do pest control IT is a well known fact that cats do kill more wildlife and song birds they even catch and play with live prey before it usually dies from shock so if you still want to call people "morons" start with cat owners for not fitting bells to their collars Also how can a squirrel take the blame as there are places in this country that don't have squirrels but there will be cats
Its a pointless arguement. Its already illegal to shoot cats (on the whole) but the people doing it ignore that law.
What makes anyone think those same people will take any notice of another law?
Better to admit you walked through the wrong door than spend your life in the wrong room
