Скачать или смотреть Scottish Government has ‘no intention’ of banning cats says First Minister John Swinney

John Swinney has knocked down reports the Scottish Government is considering banning cats.

Reports emerged over the weekend of a report from the Scottish Animal Welfare Commission (SAWC) – a group of independent experts – which recommended the Scottish Government look at potentially instituting containment areas for cats to protect local wildlife.

Such zones could include a prohibition on cat ownership in rural areas to protect endangered species.

But speaking to broadcasters on Monday, the First Minister rejected assertions it would be an effective ban on owning cats.

“There’s a report being produced by an external organisation which has come in to the Government for consideration,” he said.

“Let me just clear this up today – the Government’s not going to be banning cats or restricting cats.

“We’ve no intention of doing so and we will not be doing it.”
