Make cat theft a specific illegal offence.

Petition Details

A specific offence for cat theft with serious deterrent is needed. An 8 year minimum sentencing and fine of at least £5,000. Cats are family members. Current laws don't reflect this. Dog fighters steal cats to kill them in practice bate. Demand for cats as pets, due to Covid, is fuelling cat theft.

Additional Information

There have been substantial increases in cat theft recently. There is insufficient deterrent. Cat theft is not currently a specific offence. Cats should be seen to have their own offence, to protect them. Current laws and penalties are not enough justice for families and cats that go through this trauma. They are legally allowed to roam freely so we should protect them.
