Closed Increase the maximum prison sentence for animal cruelty to 10 years.

Closed on

Sadly humans are not treated the same as other animals. This is completely wrong and this must be changed. So changing the prison sentence to 10 years will start to give all animals the rights they need.

Right now the maximum prison sentence for animal cruelty is 6 months. There are plans to increase it to 5 years. This doesn’t go far enough, it needs to be 10 years.
