Rejected petition Harsher sentences and life time bans for anybody who commits animal cruelty

We see the stories every day of people commuting animal cruelty and not getting longer prison sentences. Animals have lives and feel emotions just like humans. People who commit this atrocity should face prison sentences for 15 years and life time bans from owning any animals ever again
