Rejected petition Make abusing dogs a criminal offence and deserves jail time.

We are all fed up of seeing defenceless dogs left to die in homes, abondened by owners and abused!

Owners have the sole responsibility of taking care of their dog(s) not as meat but part of them family.

If the owner seriously abuses their dog it should lead to jail time.
