Change the law to act as a deterrent for Animal cruelty with harsher penalties

Rejected 17 signatures

What the petition asks

I would want justice our pets not such a light sentence of twenty weeks murdering defenceless kittens. The law needs to change to protect our animals and serve as a deterrent to stop them doing the act in the first place.
