Cat Forum / Health and Behavior / May 2004Animal 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/petition.cgi?id=6988 Disclaimer: this isn't my petition. I found it while surfing.

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.

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.

Oh, after Bub died I kind of took a break - had a fundraiser to help plan, have been doing some writing, feral cat clinics, blah blah blah. It's been kind of a rough couple of months. Just the other day I came across one of his old dermatology bill print outs with his little picture on it and I had a crying jag for an hour. How are you doing? :) K > Oh, after Bub died I kind of took a break - had a fundraiser to help > plan, have been doing some writing, feral cat clinics, blah blah blah. > It's been kind of a rough couple of months.

One cool thing is I got myself an iBook laptop, it's great! I'm using it right now, and trying to get used to this MT-NewsWatcher for the newsgroups. It's totally different than using my Netscape mail on my desktop... :) How are the kitties? Mine are all doing well - Sophie is curled up on my lap right now, taking her early evening nap. ;) xo, K > > Oh, after Bub died I kind of took a break - had a fundraiser to help > > plan, have been doing some writing, feral cat clinics, blah blah blah.

It's a feature of my newsreader, an X-face header. Other readers are starting to support viewing of X-face headers now. Cool! Here is a site that will convert images that are 48 pixols X 48 pixols into an X-face and if you have a newsreader that lets you add your own custom headers (like Xnews), you put that converted code in. :) http://www.dairiki.org/xface/ SignatureCheryl |
