Petition calls for government to control vet prices

An online petition is calling for the government to control the price of medical treatment for the Island's pets.

The change.org document is asking for the price of vets on the Island to be regulated, describing charges as "astronomical" and claiming they're putting owners off getting their pets treated, vaccinated, or sterilised.

The person behind the petition says they were quoted £100 for a yearly injection for their rabbit, but claimed the cost was actually around £20.

So far, the petition has attracted 87 signatures - you can find out more here.
