What the petition asks
We want the Government to create a register of people who are found guilty of harming or neglecting animals.
Anyone selling or giving away an animal should be required to check this register, and prevented from selling or giving an animal to a registered abuser.
Too many animals are experiencing cruelty. A new register, and mandatory checks before an animal can be given to an owner, could help prevent this.
