What the petition asks
This is something that is happening more and more there is no punishment for these people something needs to be put in place they steal dogs for bait these animals deserve the right to a better life and we are failing them plz plz help us to stop this.
You see it all the time and hear about these atrosatis 1 close to my heart a pug stolen then a few days later found in a wood police say it had been mauled beaten and killed. The family are devastated who gives them the right to get away this cruel behaviour. Fb is a site were endless dogs are going missing people begging the public to help look for there pets. We desperately need this to be addressed through parliament.
