AI Summary:
First Minister John Swinney forced to issue statement after independent experts branded felines a threat to Scotland's wildlife. The Scottish Animal Welfare Commission said cats kill at least 700 million birds and other animals each year in the U.K. It advised the government to consider a range of measures, including keeping domestic cats indoors or on leashes. Cats Protection, the U.K.’s biggest cat charity, gave the idea of draconian containment measures short shrift. "Scotland is a nation of cat lovers," says the charity’s advocacy and government relations officer for Scotland. Cats are great pets for all sorts of reasons, whether it’s providing companionship for elderly people or those living alone.
