Petition US government the right to have our beloved Pets Tax deductable

This petition was a thought many years ago, when I watched my mother struggle with four children. But we were able to manage having pets through it all. The only difference between now and then was my mother could hardly afford vet care because she was busy raising children. So often the pet would not get annually vaccinated or brought to the vet when ill. Having a pet is a pleasure and joy on many different levels. Especially to people like myself that don't have or cannot have children. If we were to allow our pets to be tax write deductable, the same as we do for our children, I believe the following results will happen, in time.
A. There will be less animals in shelters. Because people will not worry about not being able to afford them. They will choose to keep them.
B. People can afford to take care of them properly, with annual vaccinations, to simple spay and neutering( free resources available now in teh USA). We have excellent health plans made affordable today in the US. Banfield is one of them.
C. More controlled breeding from ,certified, private breeders and puppy mills. Create a certification breeding program to ensure certain ill bred pets are not being bred. Also to prevent more breeding in the fighting dog industry.
D. Health and well being the very same joys children bring to their parents are exactly the same joys pets bring to us!!
E. Animals whether it be horses, mules, dogs, birds or cats have been proven to be good for ones well being. Hense the reasons for therapeutic animal therapy.

There are many more reasons to find, yet I feel these are 5 of the most important to address.
