A heartfelt thank you from me, and from our beloved rescue dog Siddhartha, who now watches from the other side of the rainbow. To everyone who has signed so far: your support is deeply appreciated, and together we have taken an important first step.

Our next milestone is 10,000 signatures. Step by step, we move closer to our goal of 100,000 signatures, the number required for the government to consider this issue for debate in Parliament.

Please continue to share the petition. With every name added, we become a stronger voice for those who cannot speak for themselves. Like drops of water forming a river, our collective care can shape change for the silent ones who depend on our protection.
