Animal Emergency Law Petition
I don't know if these petition thingies do any good, but what the hell. We really need this. Go sign it everyone. Excerpt: ------------ Read Petition: Animal Emergency Law Body of Petition: As many of you already know, we, as humans, have a PATIENT BILL OF RIGHTS that applies to our hospital visits, and because of this and other, separate laws, we cannot LEGALLY be refused treatment in an EMERGENCY situation, regardless of whether or not we have ANY MONEY OR INSURANCE. However, unfortunately, and, I believe, more importantly UNFAIRLY, animals DO NOT have the same rights under the LAW, and therefore, many Veterinarians CAN and DO refuse desperately needed EMERGENCY treatment without PAYMENT UP FRONT FIRST. This Petition was created in the interest of changing that standard, and I beg of you, pet guardian or not, to PLEASE read on and consider joining us in our fight to ensure proper treatment of the ones who's lives so LITERALLY depend on US. ------------ Read the whole thing and sign it here. http://www.petitionpetition.com/cgi/...on.cgi?id=6988 Disclaimer: this isn't my petition. I found it while surfing. -- -- ~kaeli~ Once you've seen one shopping center, you've seen a mall. http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |

I don't know if these petition thingies do any good, but what the hell. We really need this. While I agree, unfortunately animals are thought of as property under the law and don't have the same rights as human beings. I don't think this would ever pass.

While I agree, unfortunately animals are thought of as property under the law and don't have the same rights as human beings. I don't think this would ever pass. I dunno. We can hope. Actually, some places, animals aren't just property anymore. People have successfully sued for more money than the animal was worth when a wrongful death occurred. This would indicate that the animal has value beyond property. Someday the law will catch up. It won't change if we don't pressure people to change it. -- -- ~kaeli~ If that phone was up your a$$, maybe you could drive a little better! http://www.ipwebdesign.net/wildAtHeart http://www.ipwebdesign.net/kaelisSpace |
