Make it a legal requirement for drivers to stop and report if they hit a cat.
To protect animal welfare and promote responsible driving, we urge the government to enact a law requiring drivers to stop and report incidents if they have injured a cat.
To protect animal welfare and promote responsible driving, we urge the government to enact a law requiring drivers to stop and report incidents where they hit a cat. This measure will ensure injured animals receive timely care, reduce instances of hit-and-run, and foster a more compassionate society. By making it a legal duty to report such incidents, we can improve accountability and promote ethical behaviour on our roads. Cats are just as loved and important as any other pet.
