| Responsible domestic cat ownership and reducing the threat to Scottish wildcats: paper to Scottish Government | |
| 2018 Full Book | |
This paper provides an update on issues relating to the threat to Scottish wildcats posed by disease transmission and hybridisation with domestic cats (including pet domestic, feral domestic and hybrid cats), and recommends new necessary measures. The Steering Group believes that the conservation status of the Scottish wildcat will be extremely difficult to improve significantly, and is likely to further decline, unless further measures are attempted in order to address these key threats. Such measures, if designed carefully and in collaboration with key partners, would also improve the long-term welfare of domestic cats. |
