Make the killing of any dog a criminal offence

Petition Details

It is an outrage for a human being to injure or kill a dog deliberately. Heartless people do it as they know there is little consequence so why not reduce the risk of this happening and make it a criminal offence. People should get the same punishment for killing an animal as they would for a human.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

We're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. Animal cruelty is already illegal.

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

You might also be interested to know that the Government intends to increase the possible sentences for animal cruelty. You can find out more here:
