Make pet euthanasia in a last will and testament illegal

Closed 58 signatures

What the petition asks

We think healthy animals should not be allowed to be euthanised just because their owner determined this wish in their will. If anyone states in their will to euthanise their healthy pet it should not be carried out and where possible the pet should be rehomed.
We ask the government to make this illegal as animals should have the right to live if they are healthy.
