What the petition asks
The parasite, Toxoplasma gondii, infects an estimated 2 billion people worldwide.Toxoplasmosis is a parasitic disease caused by cat feces.
Although most people infected with feline intestinal parasites do not show signs of illness, some people may get sick.
I'm fed up of picking up the neighbours cat poo when we want to spend time in the garden. I have a son that likes playing football in the garden but he can't do so until I've made sure the garden is clean. Why should I/we have to pick up cat faeces in our our garden that we spend time and money to look after? Cat owners should have the responsibilities of dog owners! If you agree sign this petition.
