Jack the Cat's Law

**maerlyn** · 11-08-2011, 09:37 AM

As you know, Jack, the beloved companion of Karen Pascoe, had to journey to the Bridge because of the negligence of AA. On the website change.org, there's a petition to have "Jack the Cat's Law" enacted; it would require airlines to provide a GPS tracking system on every animal flying in cargo. This is far from ideal, for no companion animal should *ever* fly in cargo, but it is a start. If such a law had been in place, Jack would have been found and still be alive. Please go and sign the petition; such a law would give at least a little meaning to Jack's suffering and would help to ensure that his tragic story is not repeated.

I signed it and I'm sure everyone here will as well.

I signed saying a prayer for Jack the whole time. I'm sharing this with Danni and every animal lover I know. Thank you for sharing this with us!

That's why I posted the petition info on this site: I know the "crazy cat" people here will sign. Sadly, we can never be certain that this type of thing wouldn't happen to us. As many of you, I'm sure, I can feel Karen's pain - it hits close to home.

Signed.

Poor Jack. It's just such a shame all he had to go through.

Just now, I learned of a second - and much more stringent law - that is being petitioned for: it would forbid the carrying of companion animals as cargo! This is definitely what's needed. I signed that petition as well and hope that m any of you will, as well. This would be the finest memorial imaginable for dear Jack the Cat.
