Cats need the same treatment as dogs when ran over!

Rejected 13 signatures

What the petition asks

To make it law that a driver stops at the scene when they hit a cat, to make it the same law like it is for dogs and cattle etc under the Traffic Road act of 1988.

Because cats and kittens are being ran over or even killed more often, almost daily. They are someone's pet. They are companions and part of someone's family. They should have the same treatment as dogs and cattle when injured. It's still a life!
