Petition Action

Set up an animal abusers register for rescues to access.

Petition Details

Set up a register for rescues to have access to before they let someone adopt an animal. Animal abusers prosecuted should be on the register.

Additional Information

We have a sex offenders register. We need one for animal murderers or abusers. One that all police and registered rescues can access before letting an animal go in to their care. People banned from owning pets can get animals in all kinds of ways. We need to making it harder for them to do so. This needs to be across all areas of the uk.
