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:
We can't accept your petition because sentencing is the responsibility of the courts and not the UK Government or Parliament.
You might like to sign this petition instead, which calls for a law to be passed to increase the maximum sentence that the courts can give for animal cruelty:
