To classify all animal abuse as a hate crime.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We're not sure what you mean by "classify all animal abuse as a hate crime".

The Government is already taking action to increase sentences for people accused of animal abuse. You can find out more here:

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
