Interesting....
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 
payments, until the account is paid off.  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 UPFRONT 
and IN-FULL the cost of that visit, and will enable the owner to 
create an account in which to make monthly payments to pay off that 
visit.
{Please, spread the word about this petition with your! family and 
friends}
