Petition Action

Introduce stricter minimum penalties for acts of animal cruelty.

Petition Details

We want the Government to introduce stricter penalties for animal cruelty. Current punishments can often just result in suspended sentences or fines. We think the government should introduce stricter minimum penalties, including prison sentences, to help deter abuse and ensure justice for victims.

Additional Information

We think current punishments for animal cruelty fail to reflect their severity. In our view, stricter laws, including minimum custodial sentences, would be vital to help deter cruelty and help ensure justice.
