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.
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.
Create a national database of convicted animal abusers
The database should be accessible to relevant authorities and regulated organisations, including local councils, animal welfare charities, veterinary professionals, licenced breeders, rescue centres, and organisations responsible for rehoming animals. Animal cruelty is a serious offence.
Fund the provision of barriers to prevent animals from running onto roads
I am asking the Government to fund local councils and National Highways to provide mandatory protective barriers along major roads and highways. We think these barriers would prevent animals from entering the road, and could help reduce accidents, protect drivers, and save animals’ lives.
Provide a veterinary service funded by additional tax contributions
I want the government to consider introducing a voluntary additional tax to fund a free of charge veterinary service similar to the NHS.
