Demand a retrial for lenient sentencing re fox hunting.

Petition Details

Tougher sentencing is required after shockingly lenient sentences handed down after appalling acts of animal cruelty were openly admitted. A custodial sentence should be mandatory and applied given the barbarity of the acts involved.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

This isn't something that the UK Government or Parliament could do. Sentences are the responsibility of the courts, which are independent of the Government and Parliament.

Anyone can ask the Attorney General to review a sentence they think is too low, and only one person needs to ask for a sentence to be reviewed. You can find out how to do that here:
