SO, Wigan Council is getting tough on irresponsible dog owners (Journal, February 10).
Fair enough but what about the even more irresponsible cat owners, whose pets cause misery to many more residents on a regular basis across our area.
My neighbours and I don't really have a problem with dog fouling (except where people take them for walks), but they do have major problems with an increasing number (why do they need more than one?) of cats, which thanks to their irresponsible owners roam loose every day creating a serious health problem for their neighbours.
No, if Wigan Council intends to stop fouling, don't discriminate against dogs - tackle the major (and increasing) problem of cat fouling.
Note, I am neither a dog or cat owner.
