We are petitioning to get free animal healthcare.
We want to add veterinarians to the NHS free healthcare system, to provide animals in need with free treatment, similar to our treatment. This could benefit the less fortunate, who can't afford the extortionate prices of the vets in the UK. For example, the homeless with dogs.
We want the Government to provide free animal healthcare, due to the fact that hundreds of thousands of people are forced to euthanise their pets due to financial constraints in the UK. Its not fair to have to euthanise animals that can be treated, simply because the healthcare is too expensive. Animals are not allowed to fight for their lives and are put to sleep instead of giving them a chance to keep living. However we do not wish to remove private vets for those who can afford it.
