What the petition asks
My baby Tiggr was hit by a car and the driver just kept driving without a care for Tigger or his family. We are devastated and cats are just as important as dogs they are both family pets. Let’s pass this law in memory of Tigger
#TiggerBurnsLaw
#TiggerBurnsLaw
Families worried when their cats don’t come home there are thousands of cats going missing and owners never know what happened to them. If this law gets passed families can get some closure if people stop to report it and cats can be checked for microchips.
