Rejected petition Stop Veterinary Practices charging extortionate fees

I would like vets to be governed so they can’t charge astronomical fees.

More details

The reason so many animals suffer and are abandoned is down to the heavy vet fees that people feel that they cannot take their pets to the vets.
Everyone is entitled to own an animal and it’s unfair on the animals that the simplest of treatments costs £££’s.
The pet insurance companies are also unfair and injust that they don’t pay and find loopholes not to pay.
We could really make a change to many animals lives if there was regulations in place
