Rejected petition Introduce harsher sentences for people who are convicted of animal abuse.

Animal abuse is a common crime that happens, and when a person is convicted of it, they receive a simple sentence like a fine, and/or being banned from keeping animals for a set amount of time. Courts MUST be forced to give them a prison sentence of at least 3 moths.

More details

Animal abusers often get away with their horrid actions by getting low sentences, which should be harsher, which they deserve. Sign this petition if you are against animal cruelty, and to help get this a debate in parliament!
