Because all pets help us humans in so many ways, mental health. Loneliness and also children's welfare, Sometimes the pet is a persons only friend

Pets are members of families and are like children. When they are stolen it's heartbreaking to not know what they are going through. The torment can be devastating.

Review and change the new regulation that calls for Dogs to be inoculated against rabies when travelling from England, Scotland or Wales to Northern Ireland. (from one rabies free country to another). Plus a vet's certificate obtained 10 days before travel for every visit.This certificate must be obtained before any visit so those people who travel frequently with their pets will find this very expensive. Please revert to the former free travel which is still there for people. We travel four or five times each year with our two dogs this could cost us nearly £1000 per year. Many of the people we see on board Stena line with their pets are elderly and their pets are their life.

It’s important for the world

Recently walked along the disused railway track in West Meon following the Valley Trail (https://www.hants.gov.uk/thingstodo/countryside/finder/meonvalleytrail) and my friendly dog chased a squirrel off one side of the path. He ran through an unnecessary barbed wire fence ripping flesh off both front legs and requiring immediate veterinary care. These fences do not stop animals getting through to private spaces (so ineffective if small grazing live stock are being protected) but instead will cause injury and in some cases a slow and painful death as infection spreads over coming weeks if not treated.

It is important to the animals affected as there are thousands of pets suffering needlessly in sometimes alot of pain as there owners simply can't afford to take them to their vets and this needs to stop now!

This is extremely significant at times like this. The environment is struggling and by removing more species, is decreasing sustainability of biodiversity and interdependence. When removing the animals bodies, less advanced countries do not have the facilities to do so safely which could result in disease and famine.

They put their lives on the line like their handlers, what should they have less rights. These dogs prevent a family getting the awful knock on the door, they prevent a soldier standing on a device that could at least change their life and they show the direction of danger at every turn. This alone should grant them free healthcare, they do this without permission, men and women volunteer, the dogs are voluntold!!!

Most people oppose trail hunting. It is a matter of record that sometimes it involves cruelty to or painful death of foxes, inadvertently or otherwise. Until the Government bans it as uncivilised, one thing it can do: stop children under 18 attending meets or chases, something that is bad for their mental development and is even more uncivilised.

Mainly because the dogs are being 'farmed' in pitiful conditions, whilst the breeders will pretend that they are bred at home with mother and father available to see. This isn't the case. They are bred in disgusting dirty outhouses, and brought into the 'home' to be viewed by prospective buyers. Often the puppies are diseased, and come from such distressed backgrounds that they cannot easily settle in a home without a lot of additional care and veterinary expenses.

Do you have a guinea pig, rabbit, hamster, lizard etc? Did you know, these are all classed as exotic animals and the only vets that have any knowledge about them, are exotic vets. Unfortunately, due to recent experience, its so hard to get hold of an exotic vet in an emergency and unfortunately, recently, I lost my guinea pig as a normal vet was baffled. I recently seen 2 vets and they pretty much suggested euthanasia because they didn't know what to do. One even admitted that. Small animals are being put to sleep because of this and it could be something that is minor to an exotic vet, and it could save many animals lives. So please, sign the petition and share with your friends and family and get this changed. Let's save more small animals lives.

We need more people not less to help our animals. Without us they don't stand a chance.
