Tougher sentences for Dog Theft and Puppy Farms
Rejected
11 signatures
What the petition asks
During the COVID-19 pandemic dog theft has been on the rise. This not only affects the dogs in but the owners too. Recently a dog thief in Dorset stole a Black Alsation and was only charged 200 community hours and a 10 month sentence. It is disgusting, a dog thief should be served with 5 yrs minimum
