What the petition asks
Most people forget that veterinary staff also work very unsociable hours and still save lives daily. Why are they not entitled to discounts card just like any other care professionals? They work just as hard to care for our pets and provide them with better lives. It’s time they got something back.
Veterinary workers also deal with medical care daily and spend many hours helping animals. The qualifications to become part of a veterinary job role also take just as much time and dedication as other caring roles.
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We can't accept your petition because it's about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not responsible for. Discount cards for public services are run by private companies, not the UK Government or Parliament.
You could start a new petition calling for a Government supported discount card for public services and veterinary staff if that is something you would like to see happen.
