I agree it's sick but he's a pretty vile man anyway. Remember how badly he treated his wife? He's just a joke and I don't think many people have any respect for his views, but it's irresponsible journalism nonetheless. I'm sure there is a complaints procedure. However, the PCC or whoever it is would probably just say it was humorous, not intended to be taken seriously, and you might not get anywhere. Giving a "recipe" was awful. I just hope that readers of the Times would be more civilised than to follow his advice, whatever they thought of their neighbours' cats.
