Make it illegal to not stop and report hitting a cat whilst driving

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

We want it to be considered to be the law to stop and report or take to the vets any felines run down by motor vehicles
There’s a law for other animals but felines have never been included,They are not just pets but family! The sole company of felines throughout recent lockdowns has saved many people from severe depression and loneliness, one reason I have read is that dogs are included because they are classed as working animals? What about the working felines on farms protecting from rodents etc, My cat was seriously injured in a hit & run left for dead and is still fighting for his life because no one stopped!
