Closed petition: Owners to be able to claim compensation for pet suffering due to vet negligence
Closed on
We want a law allowing pet owners to claim legal damages for pain and suffering caused by veterinary negligence, holding vets accountable in court — not just for financial loss, but for the animal’s suffering.
Pets are sentient beings, yet the law treats them as property when harmed by a vet’s mistake. We want better protections and justice for all animals.
