Mandate that free roaming pet cats must be neutered

What the petition asks
Change the law around free roaming pet cats so that all free roaming pet cats must be neutered. I also think rescue centres should be given powers to charge pet owners the vet bills that come with un-neutered cats fighting and mating.
I work tirelessly along with many others to try and help cats and kittens on the streets. By changing the law that all pet cats that free roam must be neutered, I believe rescue centres can focus their attention on feral colonies and getting the population of feral cats under some sort of control.
