Legalize the Requirement to Stop for all Animals on the Road

The Issue

On Mothers Day 2024, our beloved cat was tragically hit by a vehicle whose driver did not stop or slow down. This heartbreaking incident is not unique to us, but a reality faced by countless pet owners and animal lovers every day. The current laws do not mandate drivers to stop for animals that run into the road, which often leads to unnecessary loss of animal lives.

We propose that it should be made legal for drivers to stop for any animal who runs into the road - including cats. Such legislation would not only protect our beloved pets but also contribute towards reducing roadkill numbers significantly.

By signing this petition, you're advocating for a safer environment for all creatures big and small. We urge you to join us in this cause; together we can make our roads safer places for all inhabitants of our planet. Please sign this petition today!
