Closed petition Increase maximum sentencing for animal cruelty from 6 months.
Closed on
The maximum penalty is 6 months’ imprisonment and/or an unlimited fine. The financial element of the penalty was raised only last year from a maximum fine of £20,000.
For this to be discussed in parliament there must be 100 000 signatures. I recently signed the same petition but it only got to 50 000.
