What the petition asks

We the undersigned would like to see Harsher Punishments for Stolen And Abused Animals what these poor animals go through is awful, some are being stolen for Breeding,to sell on or worst cases being used for Dog Bait and in most cases leading to Death No Animal should have to go through this.

Murphy a Siberian Husky was stolen in December 2014 his owner set up Social Media Page with over 40,000 people following this story after 3 long months of searching he was one of the lucky ones to be found. How do you explain to Owners, Children, and in some cases a Terminally ill person their pet has been stolen or used for Dog Bait and may Never see it again. These pets are a part of our family all some people have left in life, we are meant to be a Nation of Animal Lovers Animals Have Rights

Have tougher, longer sentences for animal cruelty.

Mandatory prison time 5 years, for pet theft. Reclassify pets from 'chattel'.

You might like to sign one or both of these petitions instead. They are more likely to get more signatures that way.
