Rejected petition: Change the Law on which animals need to be reported in a road accident
Rejected on
It is a legal requirement to stop and report the accident to Police Scotland when you hit a dog, goat, horse, cattle, donkey, mule, sheep or pig with your car.
This should be changed. Any Animal that has been hit by a car especially pet Cats...should be reported to Police Scotland.
All Animals deserve respect and help the same as Humans do. They are helpless and voiceless. I am Their Voice
