Animal abusers get 5 yr sentence & are on national register Cats inc in RTS
We demand review of the Animal Welfare Act, increasing the powers of local authorities to protect animals and to increase the maximum sentence these crimes hold. At a minimum, animal cruelty should hold punishment similar to Actual Bodily Harm (ABH) & Grievous Bodily Harm (GBH).
There are 30 reported cases of animal abuse a day. The sentence of 51days Max is pathetic
There is a national demand for tougher sentences
Stop putting your heads in the sand and get this law in place
Under the Animal Welfare Act, the term of imprisonment for even the most heinous of crimes does not exceed 51 weeks. All too often abusers are “getting away with murder". A lifetime ban and/or fine is insufficient.
We also demand cats are covered under the road traffic act and micro chipped
