#FamilyNotProperty
Outdated laws treat pets as property in civil and family cases. We want to reshape how Courts handle pet-related cases including 'tug of love' cases and other ownership battles, negligence claims and more.
Distinguish pets from other types of property in civil and family proceedings
Our e'petition calls for legislation to:-
1. Make a pet's welfare the paramount consideration when Courts resolve disputes over their ownership and possession
2. Recognise a pet's true value as being the value to its owner, not just its open market price
3. Require Court cases regarding pets to be expedited
