Make the punishment for animal abuse equal to the punishment for child abuse.
The current sentence for animal abuse is not enough because like children, animals are vulnerable. The punishment of being banned from owning an animal for ten years along with a small amount of jail time is not justice! After all is there really difference between animal abuse and child abuse?
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There are many different offences involved in child abuse which carry different sentences depending on specific circumstances. You can view the full list of offences here: www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/509614/domestic-violence-child-abuse-offences.pdf
You could start a new petition asking for a Parliament to change the law, to require a specific minimum sentence to be given to people found guilty of animal abuse.
