Closed petition Mandatory custodial sentences for animal abuse offences
Closed on
Increase deterrents for animal abuse by introducing harsher punishments. Prison sentences should be given for those found guilty of animal abuse. We believe fines are no deterrent.
Too many people who are found guilty of animal abuse go on to reoffend. We believe harsher sentences would prevent this.
