Justice for Murdered Animals
Rejected
21 signatures
What the petition asks
Make sure the police investigate any vicious attacks or hit and runs of animal deaths
Because the police don't care. Despite witness and vet reports and previous complaints about local kids, the police wouldn't investigate the murder of my cat
Why it was rejected
It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.
We're sorry to hear about the loss of your cat. Please accept our condolences.
Decision on the investigation of crimes is an operational decision for police forces. We could accept a petition calling for increased funding to investigate these crimes, or for the creation of new criminal offences.
