Something I recieved in another group, I figure since a good many of
us are pet owners, it may be of some interest.
"Animal Emergency Law."
Did you know that if your animal were to suffer
an extreme "emergency", most veterinarians
will not lift a finger to help your animal unless
you can pay UPFRONT, the FULL cost of your
animal's visit?
These veterinarians will not even consider
allowing you to create an account with them so
that you can make monthly installments.
Not every pet owner is so financially well-off to
pay the full cost upfront.
Should the animal needlessly suffer
because of this?
Please read and sign this petition in
support of an "Animal Emergency Law"
that will prohibit veterinarians from turning away
any animal in need of EMERGENCY care due
to the owner's inability to pay the
FULL COST UPFRONT at the time of the visit,
and will enable the owner to create an account
in which to make monthly installments.
This is NOT asking for charity, as the vet
will STILL be receiving the money for his services.
Within this petition, there are 3 short personal stories
(2 of which are my own) that in a sense, describe
the reasoning behind this petition.
On July 4th, 2004 the petition will close, and I
will send all signatures to all members of
Congress and Governors.
{Please, spread the word about this
petition with your family and friends}
