Rejected petition Tougher sentences for dog abuse animal neglect

More details

People are being angered and upset with the amount of animal cruelty in N. Ireland. Badger Baiting , Dog Baiting , Dog Fighting, Dogs and cats suffering because of human's pleasure. I have seen dogs ripped apart that have been used for dog bait. Dogs tied up outside homes with no water or food, streets in co.down breeding dogs for money .the dogs are in a sorrowful state. Cats used as bait, cats left to breed and breed until they are riddled with disease. People who have been caught causing HARM TO ANIMALS who have been brought to court and get a slap on the wrist. do these people get checked as i know some who are keeping animals even though they are banned. Stop the cruelty Now
