More details from petition creator

The Federation of Companion Animal Societies promotes responsible pet keeping/companion animal ownership. Please help to ensure that under the Animal Welfare Act the interests of pet keepers are acknowledged & the legislation is not derailed by the Animal Rights lobby.

Companion animals are good for people. Research has consistently shown the benefits to children; lessons about life, reproduction, death & bereavement & developing respect & responsibility for all living things. For the elderly, pets provide companionship, sense of purpose, routine & help prevent loneliness and depression.

Research also shows keeping a pet lowers the risk of heart disease & reduces use of the family doctor. The benefit of pet keeping is estimated to save the NHS a billion pounds annually.

Half the homes in the UK currently own a pet & the pet industry is valued at £3.5 billion annually. Britain is a nation of animal lovers; please help to ensure that it can remain a nation that loves to keep pets.
