In the early days of the COVID-19 pandemic, when little was known about the novel virus, the U.K. government briefly considered asking the public to exterminate every cat amid fears that the pets could spread the disease.

Lord Bethell, a former deputy Health Minister from 2020 to 2021, revealed the news Wednesday during an interview with Britain’s Channel 4 News.

UK doesn’t have a Trump to stand between the citizenry and Deep State.

What am I? Chopped liver? I was Trump before Trump was Trump!

Killing all the cats in the UK???

Well, it’s a start, I suppose.

(Just kidding, it’s a joke. Now if they said dogs, I’d be right there on the front lines!)

That’s exactly it. These bastards are evil and want us all dead. People need to rise up and go after these satanic politicians.

Bats had nothing to do with this flu.

They may have had a role in “S” crazy.

Yep. Cat owners are more attached to their cats than their children.

You don't see cat owners parading their pets into PetSmart like the dog owners do.

You don't see cat owners dragging their "service" cats into supermarkets, perched in the carts.

You don't see cat owners driving with their cats in their laps and the cat's head sticking out the window like the yappy dog owners do.

Dogs lick their balls and butts then lick their owners faces, cats don't do that.

Cats don't eat their own turds like my neighbor's yappy dog does........

Here’s the deal. A lot of us labored long hours without adequate PPE at considerable risk to our own life to treat the elderly and others who had covid. I am sick of hearing those efforts slandered by armchair warriors who attacked from the comfort of their own home. Flame away all you want - I’ve heard it all. You do serious maligning of those that literally risked their lives to help others. It disgusts me no end.

I pity the poor LEO who would come to kill my BFF’s catz. She would fill him so full of holes there would be nothing left.

Oh, yeah! Between my husband and me, it would get ugly. Guarantee it.

My cat will not set one paw in the U.K. now, knowing this. She ain’t no dummy.
