Campaign to make drivers report cats hit in road accidents to be debated in House of Commons
News / Mon 9th Jan 2023 at 01:48pm
CAMPAIGNERS are pressing for a change in the law to require motorists who hit cats to stop, report what has happened, and seek help from a vet reports the BBC.
Drivers in the UK already have to do this for accidents involving “working animals”, including horses, cows, sheep, pigs, goats and dogs.
But the rules do not apply to cats or wild animals.
The issue will be debated in Parliament later after 102,436 people signed an e-petition backing the change.

Comments by Colin and Keith clearly prove they do not have pets thus no idea how a loss of such affects people.

How could anyone run over a cat and just drive off. They have no idea how devastated the owners would be.
