Petition Action

Change the law to make it illegal if you hit a cat and do not stop.

Petition Details

I wish the law to be the same as it is with dogs, why should it be different for cats?
Our boy was first hit by a vehicle and lost an eye and last night was hit by a car and left to die. No one sticks to the 20mph speed limit down our road, next time this will be a child.

Additional Information

Because we have lost our innocent boy and I know loads of others have too.
