So many pets go missing and although it is a requirement on responsible owners like myself to make sure they are microchipped, I believe that not all deceased pets are scanned. This must be addressed.","additional_details":"I call on the Government to make it a legal requirement for all deceased dogs and cats to be scanned after they have been found. I think this could stop the heartbreaking continued search for lost family members! My cat has been missing 5 weeks and only learned recently the microchip might not bring him back if picked up by the local council","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":50,"created_at":"2026-03-30T20:45:55.675Z","updated_at":"2026-05-06T14:53:00.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-04-30T09:02:52.692Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-03-31T13:21:30.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Leigh
