Petition to City Of Tshwane Health Department

Many families care deeply for their pets but cannot afford private veterinary services. Without access to free vaccination programs, our domestic animals, many of whom are beloved companions and protectors, are left vulnerable to preventable diseases. This affects not only the pets themselves but also the health and safety of the entire community.

If free vaccination services are not reinstated, we risk outbreaks of diseases like rabies and parvovirus, which can spread quickly and have devastating consequences.Many families remain unable to afford essential care for their pets, leaving animals unprotected and communities exposed.Under the Animal Protection Act 71 of 1962, animals in South Africa have the legal right to be protected from neglect, suffering, and preventable harm. Denying access to basic vaccinations, especially in low-income communities,undermines this protection. We are calling on the City of Tshwane and veterinary partners to bring back free, accessible pet vaccination drives in Soshanguve to protect both animals and people.

The time to act is now! Our community cannot wait for another outbreak or tragedy to highlight the need for preventative care. By reinstating these services today, we can build a healthier, safer, and more compassionate place for everyone, two-legged and four-legged alike.

    I have pets and I love them so much, we need access to these vaccines because not everyone can afford health care for their fur babies

    I am signing this petition because bringing back free pet vaccinations across South Africa will reduce the spread of rabies, improve the health of our dogs, and create safer, healthier communities for everyone.
