Amend UK Legislation to Make Anti-Freeze Bitter and unappealing for Cats


Amend UK Legislation to Make Anti-Freeze Bitter and unappealing for Cats
The Issue
Our sweet cat, Benny, loved everything about the world outside our home. An adventurous spirit lost tragically at the young age of 3 to anti-freeze poisoning, an all too common fate for cats during this time of year. Anti-freeze products, due to their sweet taste, are often consumed by unsuspecting cats causing life-threatening consequences. This issue affects hundreds of other pets and their families every year, as, according to the RSPCA, 90% of anti-freeze poisoning cases concerning animals result in fatality.
In essence, we are calling for changes in the UK law to make anti-freeze and the like taste bitter and unappealing. This change can spare families the distress of losing loved ones like Benny, and save countless pets from an underlooked danger. It's a simple solution to a gigantic problem, employing a form of pet-safe anti-freeze used in other countries, thereby significantly reducing accidental consumption by pets.
Change can come, and it begins with your support. Together, with your signature, we can direct attention to this overlooked issue and make a lasting change in the lives of pet families everywhere. Please, sign this petition and make products containing anti-freeze safer for our beloved pets.
