Rejected petition Change the way vets handle charges and more helpeople who don’t have the money

Rejected on 5 September 2022

Put in place rubies law.
To change the way vets handle charges and to have more help for people who can’t afford situations at the vets.
To not turn away dying and poorly animals.
Make it illegal.

There are too many vet practises. Who are turning dying animals away because there owners cannot afford it at the time.
No payment plans or help are not available at most places.
We need to stop vet practises focusing on money and to help animals in need even if they cannot afford it at that minute.
They have a duty of care for the animals in there care and they deserve it.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can only accept petitions about things the Government or Parliament are directly responsible for.

Decisions about access to and charges for veterinary services are a matter for individual practices, not the UK Government or Parliament.

We could accept a petition calling on the Government to fund access to free veterinary services, or provide grants for low-income families, if that's something you'd like to happen.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards.
