Harsher Penalties for Animal Cruelty

  • by: lisa connor
  • recipient: Prime Minister of the United Kingdom

Any one who loves animals should be appalled at the recent increase in animal cruelty, not just in this country but worldwide.

The law is failing to adequately protect animals/pets and ensure that the punishment administered to those responsible for acts of cruelty towards them fits the crime.

This URGENTLY must change.

RE: Harsher Penalties for Animal Cruelty


Any one who loves animals should be appalled at the recent increase in animal cruelty, not just in this country but worldwide. 

The law is failing to adequately protect animals/pets and ensure that the punishment administered to those responsible for acts of cruelty towards them fits the crime.

We are starting to lag behind the world when it comes to punishment for Animal Abuse and yet we pride ourselves on being an Animal Loving Country. 


Please don't ignore our pleas.  The right to sentence an animal abuser needs to be increased and appropriate sentences MUST BE HANDED DOWN!


We look forward to you taking action.


Kind regards,
