Rejected petition Make hit and runs on cats a criminal offence

We all see so many Facebook posts and hear so many stories of people’s cats getting killed or left for dead at the side of the road with no one reporting anything and for the owners these pets are a part of the family, very much loved and it’s devastating to loose them.

More details

I would like to see the law changed so collisions with cats have to be reported to the police and owners notified by scanning of the microchip.
