Increase sentences for animal cruelty cases
Rejected

What the petition asks
The law is far to lenient in dealing with animal cruelty cases. I think such cases should be treated in the same way as cruelty to humans - what is the difference?
Why ban someone for 5 years when they have been found guilty of animal abuse - the chances are they will do the same thing!
