Introduce custodial minimum sentences for animal cruelty offences

Petition Details

Government and Parliament should change the law so that animal cruelty/neglect offences always have a prison sentence. I am sick of seeing people starving animals to death and just getting community service and a fine.


If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
