Closed petition dog theft

Closed on

The Government should recognise that a dog is not just another piece of property but an animal with attachments and feelings and most people consider them a part of their family.

The Government should therefore change the laws to reflect the devastation to a family that the theft of their dog causes. The minimum jail term for dog theft should be set at 5 years
