LETTER: Cat owners need to leash their pets

I am an avid pet lover, whether it be cats or dogs, but owners of these beloved animals need to take more responsibility for their pets.

In regards to the article “Two cats in Abbotsford shot with pellet guns,” as per usual, the newspaper is only reporting part of the story.

I am an avid pet lover, whether it be cats or dogs, but owners of these beloved animals need to take more responsibility for their pets.

Why are these animals put out at night to do their business? I, for one, am sick of finding cat feces in my flower beds when i am out there weeding them.

It is quite common for cats to carry pin worms, and i shouldn’t have to wear a mask while working in my own flower beds.

Cat owners need to leash their pets when they put them out. Neighbours shouldn’t have to put up with the negative repercussions from other people’s pets, whether it’s cats’ feces or dogs barking.
