Stop classifying cats as "property" under UK law

Petition Details

Recently in the U.K. there have been a number of cases of people killing cats, U.K. Law means these people are only charged with damage to property, the law needs changing to reflect reality, that cats are not property but family members.

Additional Information

The law for a long time has failed animals, we now need to start punishing these crimes accordingly. There is an acknowledged link between animal cruelty and violence against other humans, another reason that classifying a breathing living creature as "property" is barbaric.
