Introduce custodial minimum sentences for animal cruelty offences
Government and Parliament should change the law so that animal cruelty/neglect offences always have a prison sentence. I am sick of seeing people starving animals to death and just getting community service and a fine.

We call on the UK Government to amend existing wildlife and animal welfare legislation to introduce custodial prison sentences for any individual who deliberately goes out with the intention of injuring or killing wild bird, specifically including pigeons, using catapults or similar weapons.
Set mandatory minimum sentences for all child-related offences
We call on the Government to introduce mandatory minimum sentences for all sexual and violent offences against children.
Stronger penalties for animal cruelty and stricter regulations on animal sales
Every year, countless animals suffer at the hands of people who intentionally harm, neglect, or kill them. While the Animal Welfare Act increased maximum penalties in England and Wales, we think too many offenders still face minimal consequences — sending the message that animal lives don’t matter.
Change laws regarding abuse of multiple animals
We believe each animal’s suffering deserves justice. For those who abuse multiple animals, we want separate charges to be required for each animal abused, rather than a single charge. We think strong consistent sentences will deter mass animal abuse cases.
Introduce minimum sentence of 5 years for sexual offences and ban appeals
Require that anyone who commits an offence relating anything sexual, including photos, gets an automatic prison sentence of a minimum of 5 years if found guilty. There should be no right to appeal.
