Petition Action

Make it the law to stop and report hitting a cat under the road traffic act 1988

Petition Details

It should be compulsory to report an accident involving a cat just like it's compulsory to report hitting a dog.

Additional Information

Sadly on 20th March 2020 our beautiful cat Ruby was hit by a car, the driver never stopped. While the driver carried on with their lives a part of our family lay dying, in pain & scared with nobody to comfort her. When I found my girl she was already dead, she died alone & the way I found her will haunt me for the rest of my life. So many people believe a cat is "Just a cat" but she was our cat and part of our family.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We're very sorry to hear about what happened to Ruby.

We think this petition is asking for the same action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/300310
