Enforcement of the Barbados Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Amendment) Bill 2007

Since posting this petition, another incident has occurred.  Please read this link: http://www.nationnews.com/news/local/Dog-get-sort-out-FRONT-PAGE-OTHER

Original petition letter:
The Barbados Government enacted a law against animal cruelty in 2007 however these laws are not being enforced.  Offenders by and large are not being charged for offences against animals or they just receive a slap on the wrist.  Furthermore, approximately a week and a half ago, a large dog was found hanging from a tree in St. Lucy Barbados.  There was convincing evidence that he was tortured.  Dog fighting and cock fighting is also a big concern here.  Dogs are often cruelly tortured and discarded when they don't win the fight.  It is a no win situation in many cases for either dog in the fight.  Horses have been sexually molested on the pastures where they are tied.   Animals are frequently poisoned as revenge against a neighbour.  Cows have been butchered alive on pastures.  Please sign this petition.
