<p>It is established good practice for local authorities to scan any cat or dog found
on the streets so that the owner can be informed. Cats Protection reports that 80%
of councils in England routinely scan cats involved in accidents.</p><p> </p><p>Additionally,
Highways England has clear guidelines for contractors to follow when they find a deceased
cat or dog. This process is designed with owners in mind, giving them the best chance
of being informed of the incident to allow closure. The process is laid out in the
Network Management Manual and in 2015 the necessary arrangements were made in all
Highways England’s contracts to collect and identify cats and dogs killed on the strategic
road network and to contact their owners.</p>
