Changes in animal cruelty laws and punishement
No animal is left outside in extreme temperatures (0 degrees or below and 32 degrees or above for any longer than half an hour, not left outside unless insulated heated kennel. New tethering rules. And permanent animal bans at first cruelty offence and min of suspended sentence for 'mild' cases
There have been many occasions of animals left out in severe weather, causing mental trauma, aggression and death, not only that there has been occasions teathering has lead to strangulation of an animal.
Permanent bans are a necessity, yearly bans are unacceptable, if somone abuses an animal they should automatically lose the right to ever have ownership again, and fines are clearly not being as effective as needed or hoped, a minimum of a suspended sentence for 'mild' cases of abuse

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.
We understand that you want to see changes to animal welfare laws, but we're not sure exactly what changes you would like. It's not clear if you want the rules you propose to apply to all animals, pets, or a different selection of animals.
We have published the following petitions, which you might like to sign: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/330345
Implement an Animal Bill of Rights protecting all species of animals:

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