when a driver hits a cat they MUST report it

Additional Information

Under the Road Traffic Act 1988, section 170, it is a legal requirement to report any road accident which causes damage to any animal which is not on or in the vehicle involved. The definition of 'animal' however does not include cats. Currently only dogs, horses, sheep, cattle, pigs, goats, ass and mules are included.

Two days ago my beautiful cat was ran over, and there was no witnesses, she was found by an amazing man and his wife who called the council to report this horrific accident, the councils response was 'leave it there or chuck it in the bin' sorry, but who in there right mind could say such cruel words.

If you ask me, this needs to change - cats make up half the majority of household pets so why are they not included?

please help me change this!
