While wet, Jeyes fluid is highly toxic to cats, although it is
safe once dry, so must be used with care, unless you fancy a
visit from the RSPCA.

I have some lilies which I understand to be very toxic to cats.
If the RSPCA come around I will tell them what to do as I have just
as much right to grow lilies as people have to own vermin.
If a cat becomes ill because of them then that is because the owner
let it out.

So, you admit that you know that the plants you grow may cause
unnecessary suffering to a protected animal within the meaning of the
Animal Welfare Act 2006, but choose not to act to prevent that
suffering by removing the plants?

That's not how the act works.



As with all English law, the Courts will decide how the Act works.

Well I do hope the courts act.
If they are stupid enough to set the precedent then it will have to apply to
cats triggering allergenic reactions in some people which means all cat
owners are keeping dangerous vermin and can be done and I can get them
exterminated with a bit of luck/effort.
