We lost our cat Rocky on the road outside the house, that driver didn’t stop. He was a much loved member of our family, still missed. Happy to put my name on this petition and support this campaign.
Christine supported: Make cats equalI suggest the organisers link up with domestic abuse charities as I have seen other petitions on here asking for the same legal recognition of pets. their reason? abusers often target, steal, or use a beloved pet to blackmail their victim, making it harder for them to leave a dangerous situation. this legal classification of animals as property is centuries outdated and needs to change - it happened with children as property so why not for our beloved animals too?
aenor supported: Support in Advocating Legal Change To Animals As Property After Arson IncidentThe love most people feel for their pets is immeasurable.....they are family. For some people, a beloved pet is the closest bond they have in life.
This needs to be recognised by authorities in every situation where a pet is harmed through reckless and criminal behaviour.
The Law and sentencing of vile cretins who cause this soul destroying heartbreak really need to be rewritten and punishments increased 100%.
I'm so sorry for your devastating loss x
Kerry supported: Support in Advocating Legal Change To Animals As Property After Arson IncidentOur pets are not property, they are our family. Loosing a pet is hard enough, but in a situation like this where they are deemed "property" in an arson investigation is just awful. They are living creatures that rely on us, they become our family so should be counted as a life lost not a item damaged.
You can replace a item, you cannot replace a pet because they are all unique
Teagan supported: Support in Advocating Legal Change To Animals As Property After Arson IncidentAs the saying goes, the greatness of a nation & its progress is judged by how its animals are treated.
This case broke my heart & I commend Louise for starting such a petition in the midst of her grief and if she reads this I send you much love.
Wish I could do more to help, so glad this is on mainstream news so more people can see it.
Peggy's law will remind people how to treat ALL sentient beings. I extend this to wildlife, and nature, all living organisms should be protected so when evil people harm them they are fully punished. The law is way overdue, and a country that does not protect all creatures is no country at all.
RIP Peggy
Huge hug to Louise for all that she has suffered.
Let's make this happen!
Carlotta supported: Support in Advocating Legal Change To Animals As Property After Arson IncidentThis made me cry 😢
I have an abusive ex and you always worry about things like this. Police are useless- can't do anything until something happens!
That beautiful little soul Peggy, lost her life. Animals are not property- they are sentient beings with every right to a life without fear. x
Rachel supported: Support in Advocating Legal Change To Animals As Property After Arson IncidentAnimals are living, breathing, feeling individuals who deserve kindness and respect. They certainly understand fear and pain. Majority of them are well loved valued members of their carers
family. Loosing them agreed is hard enough but under such tragic circumstances is definitely harder. If it was a human being the perpetrator would be charged with murder or at least manslaughter. Why should a loved pet not be allowed some dignity in this even if not to the same level.
Maureen supported: Support in Advocating Legal Change To Animals As Property After Arson IncidentIt is very heartening to see Sri Lanka is losing one of its National Treasures (Elephants) and their right to existence due to ignorance of relevant authorities and loss of habitats by human activities. Outcry for a sustainable solution to protect the Gentle Giants has not been receiving any favourable response is very dissaponting heart breaking. I hope this petition will receive attention of all concerned authorities including the Head of the State.
Ruklanthi supported: Act Now: Stop Wild Elephant Deaths & Protect Communities from Human-Elephant ConflictMy husband and I are watching National Geographic, Secrets of the Elephants and we are appalled at what we are seeing. The greed of man tearing down the natural habitat of any animal is heartbreaking. We do not want or need palm oil in our food, especially when it is destroying the natural feeding grounds of the majestic, beautiful elephants! We are both so angry at what we have learned is happening in Asia to wildlife!
