Closed petition Increase penalties for dog theft to match those for kidnapping

Closed on 17 March 2022

We need to increase penalties for stealing a dog to match those for kidnapping a child.

I've had to experience my dog being stolen and I believe that current penalties for this offence are totally insufficient.
