Rejected petition Allow puppy, kitten and kit vaccines during COVID19 lockdown
Treat puppy, kitten and kit vaccinations as emergency treatment during COVID19 lockdown.
All infant pets are advised by vets to have vaccinations during their first 8-12 weeks of birth, and cannot go outside without them. Pets need to exercise outside for mental and physical stimulation and growth.
More details
Please change the puppy, kitten and kit (infant pets) vaccinations to an emergency procedure in veterinary practices.
These vaccines help fight against disease and protects their immunity.
It is unfair to keep an animal of a young age kept confined for a long period of time, every animal has the right for daily exercise. Not all pet owners have large homes or adequate outdoor space for their pet to get enough physical stimulation.
Please change the rules for this COVID19 lockdown.
