Petition Action

Legally recognise companion animals as family members, not properties.

Petition Details

Requests:
-reject "no pet"policy, extend right to rent to many families with animals.
-make illegal selling or reselling animals on line
-support with vet costs
-make adoptions and guardianship more responsible to avoid suffering of rehoming or exploitation
-prison punishment for abusers

Additional Information

Currently our beloved companion animals are legally considered as properties, hence luxury. Especially during 2020, we've seen where there's a profit there's explotation. Animals aren't things,but beings.
It's about time to recognise companion animals as individuals, to help the family they belong to with living costs and other issues such as right to rent.
On the other hand it will guarantee the animals more protection from exploitation and abuse,making the adopting process more responsible.
