Make any form of animal abuse or cruelty a criminal offence
This petition started because there are too many cases of animal cruelty and abuse showing up everyday and I feel that animals should be treated and have the same rights as humans, it is a criminal offence to harm someone so why shouldn’t it be an offence to harm an animal
There was a recent story about a 12 week old kitten that had its testicals cut off with scissors by 2 people and left in a box and dumped in a park to die, no one will get prosecuted for that because it isn’t a criminal offence and I feel it should be and that the laws should be changed so it is a criminal offence that can and should be prosecuted
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:
Petitions need to call on the UK Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
It is already an offence to cause unnecessary suffering to any animal, so we're not sure what else you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Anyone who is cruel to an animal, or does not provide for its welfare needs, may be banned from owning animals, fined up to £20,000 and/or sent to prison.
You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.
