Require tracking of companion animal euthanasia to prevent unnecessary deaths
Every day healthy and treatable companion animals are put to sleep not because they are old or because they are beyond help but because there are limited places for them to go Their lives end quietly in pounds, commercial kennels, veterinary practices and rescues, often unseen and unrecorded.

Background
Stray dogs can be PTS after 7 days
Stray cats rely on charities not councils
Healthy/treatable animals are euthanised with no record, no transparency, no opportunity for reform
We call on Government to:
* Record when healthy/treatable animals are euthanised
* Publish annual data
* Introduce a nationwide system to protect stray cats
* Scan microchips for Rescue Back Up and registered keeper
Without this data preventable deaths will continue
Every animal deserves the chance to live
