Include cats within the Road Traffic Act 1988
Cats deserve the same justice as any other animal included on the Road Traffic Act 1988. They are just as loved and as part of the family as a dog so should deserve the same justice when the unthinkable happens. #JusticeForObi #EqualRightsForCats
After losing my beloved cat Obi to this, and personally feeling the heartbreak after searching for weeks, for hoping for a safe return, just to find that someone had left my poor boy to die alone on the side of the road, I believe cats need to be included in the RTA 1988 law. Having to go collect his body and identify him has been one of the most devasting things I have had to go through, he deserved so much better, and so do all the other beloved pets not protected by this law.
