Rejected petition Put a law in place to protect cats when they have been ran over

My cat got ran over by a vehicle who left him to die in the middle of the road. This has caused a heartbreak in the family. A cat is a loved family member. Put a law into place for when cats get injured or killed when hit by a vehicle, the driver has to stop and report the incident.

More details

There is a law in place for dogs, so why not cats? They are a loved family pet, who bring happiness to many. Justice needs to be served.
