Rejected petition ADOPT ZERO TOLERANCE ON ANIMAL CRUELTY AND ABUSE introduce draconian punishment.

More details

There's a growing worldwide indifference towards animal welfare issues and society's relationship with these creatures and the natural world is becoming detached. A myriad of cruelty and abuse by individuals to dog fighting gangs continues hourly, whether in slaughterhouses, on traditional or intensive factory farms, in the wild and at home. This abhorrent behaviour is accepted by many in our communities, encouraging desensitized youngsters to continue in these acts of barbarity; this must end.
