What the petition asks
Create a register of those convicted of serious animal cruelty, which can be searched by potential employers etc to avoid these people working in inappropriate areas.
We know that those guilty of animal cruelty often progress to cruelty to people, a register would allow employers to prevent these people working with vulnerable people or animals.
