Petition Action

Give status to Police Dogs and Horses as 'Police Officers'

Petition Details

I propose that UK Police Dogs and Horses be given protection that reflects their status if assaulted in the line of duty. This would be similar to the US Federal Law Enforcement Animal Protection Act.

Additional Information

Federal Law Enforcement Animal Protection Act of 1999 - Amends the Federal criminal code to prohibit, and set penalties for, willfully and maliciously harming a police animal or attempting or conspiring to do so.
Includes among such penalties a ten-year maximum term of imprisonment if the offense permanently disables or disfigures, or causes serious bodily injury to or the death of, the animal.
