Prison sentences for anyone who abuses animals or puts this on social media
I want to start a government petition as I find it absolutely disgusting to see people on social media and other websites who abuse and kill animals. It is disturbing to know we have people who do this as this is another living creature.
Most of the videos and images I have seen on social media lately have been removed by Facebook and Instagram which is rightly so. But it doesn’t mean it has stopped.
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, which are independent of the UK Government and Parliament. The law already allows the courts to give prison sentences in cases of animal cruelty.
You might like to sign this petition, which calls for the law to be changed so the courts can give longer sentences:
