Councils get scanning

Neil Finegan of Pet Concepts created a petition to the Government to force local councils to scan cats found dead in the road and contact the owner if a microchip is found. The Government has now responded – wholly inadequately. Read their response here and write to your MP. You can use this as a template.

Nikki Powditch has a similar petition:

A law needs to be passed to ensure that :-

Any persons or authority collecting, finding, treating or removing pet animals from the roads, highways, streets and railways - dead, injured or alive - must scan the animal for a microchip and inform the owners BEFORE the animal is incinerated, re-homed or otherwise disposed of.

Please help make a difference.

Not knowing the fate of your pet can destroy your life and pets are incinerated or dumped every day without ever being checked for a microchip.

Read Nikki's story – any cat lover will sympathise – and sign her petition online or download from Dog Theft Action
