Pet Bereavement: Should You Get Time Off to Mourn a Pet? | This Morning

After an 18-year-old student claimed she was sacked for taking a day off to mourn the passing of her pet dog, she started a petition that has garnered over 18,000 supporters since the weekend calling for pet bereavement leave. We’re joined in studio by Zak Edwards, who says the death of his dog was like "losing a member of the family", and who now allows his own employees time off to grieve their much loved pets, and Anna May Mangan, who argues that allowing time off for pet bereavement is ‘ridiculous’, despite being a so-called animal lover.
