LAWS MUST CHANGE, DOGS ARE NOT PROPERTY!

Our pets are part of our family, they are NOT our property! This is an anitquated law that has no place in our system today. When our pets are injured or killed, they/we should be compensated for these actions. They suffer pain the same way we do, yet they are considered an inadimate object like a table or a piece of land.
Our society recognizes K-9 dogs as Police Officers, dogs that go to war as Soldiers, Therapy Service Dogs as valuable, YET...our pets are considered "PROPERTY" in our court system! Our pets are just as valuable to us and should be recognized as such and not as a piece of furniture!  
 

This petition was authored and signed to change laws regarding pets in the United States of America, who are considered PROPERTY. This is an old and atiquated law that needs to be changed and updated.


We do not feel like our pets are property of ours and should not be treated as such. We are asking that they have rights the same as we do if they are injured and/or killed through no fault of their own or their familiy's. As it is right now, under the law,  pets are considered property, not part of the family that they live with and are part of. The signatures on this petition, however, believe that pets are part of a family and should be treated fairly under the law, and be able to have the same rights as humans, in the event of medical and/or punitive damages. They do have pain and suffering the same way we do, yet they are considered PROPERTY! Property can not FEEL pain, PETS CAN!


We are asking you to take this under consideration and please change this old, antiquated law that says our pets are property.


Thanking you in advance for your cooperation,
