Is Pet Cemetery Being Unearthed a Legal Act?
I recently received an email from a distraught pet owner.
She had lost several pets and had placed their remains in a cemetery, located upon the property of her veterinarian.
While visiting the grave sites recently, she was informed that the property had been sold and that the grave markers were to be taken down and the animals removed.
Although there appears to be little statutory law that can assist this lady, she is receiving legal assistance from some local attorneys who are exploring the possibility of a restraining order as to the new owner of the property.
I will try to keep you advised as this story plays out.
Unfortunately, this situation could apply to any of us, as most case law still define pets as personal property.
