Make stricter laws for animal cruelty

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

In the UK it seems quite common that people caught abusing animals avoid jail. After just reading of another dog abuser who escaped a jail sentence, I now call on the government to act on behalf of the outraged citizens of the United Kingdom by enforcing stricter and just punishments.

These are just two of many examples that show how people who abuse animals are often spared of jail in the UK. This is beyond disgusting, vulgar and below all levels of sickening. Animals are living beings and therefore deserve better rights. Act now.
