Hold citizens responsible for running cats over and leaving them for dead.

I need the governments help on getting justice for family pets such as cats. Cats that are getting ran over and left deceased in the roads. These are family pets and can cause massive distress on households when this happens. I think it is so wrong how there are no laws in place for this.

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action. We understand that you are concerned about cats being hit on roads. However, we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do. For example, you could set out what specific measures you would like to be introduced in response to the issue you've raised.
