Animal Cruelty Offender Register

Rejected 10 signatures

What the petition asks

For known animal abusers to be put on an Animal Abuse Register which will name and shame offenders. It should be transparent, in order to help stop animal cruelty.
I cannot understand why there is no register for people who inflict cruelty and abuse animals. As a nation of animal lovers I feel sure that this would be welcomed.

Why it was rejected

There was already a petition about this issue. Duplicates are rejected so signatures collect in one place.

Change animal abuse law: make a UK register for people who abuse animals.
