Currently there is no accurate data on the euthanasia of companion animals available in England.

Commercial companies given contracts by local authorities in relation to stray animals are not subject to freedom of information requests.

The numbers of animals euthanised is currently unknown.
Currently euthanasia numbers of companion animals in local authority pounds, local authority subcontracted companies, rescue organisations, veterinary practices, police kennels and commercial enterprises involving companion and working animals is unknown

We think there is no reason that this data should not be collected and published. The data relating to an animal is not subject to GDPR

Without transparency and publication we feel animal welfare cannot be considered a priority to the current government.

Distinguish pets from other types of property in civil and family proceedings

We want 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.

We feel that pets are cherished members of the family, not mere possessions.

While the Animal Welfare (Sentience) Act 2022 acknowledges that some animals are sentient beings, we feel that this is not recognised in civil and family proceedings and the law needs to catch up with how society views pets today.

We believe there is an urgent need for legislative change so that a pet is no longer regarded as a replaceable item such as a table or a waistcoat.
