Animal Welfare Sentencing Bill finally passed!

The UK Government has increased sentences for animal abusers from 6 months to 5 years in England, which has also paved the way for change in Wales. We've been calling for this for years, and we're overjoyed!

Seeing my Minnie in that video, covered in wounds and bandaged up has reduced me to tears again. They never caught those who tortured her but I hope if they do, they will be prosecuted to the fullest extend of the law.

I couldnt imagine the pain. Where has this world come too? Killing/abusing innocent animals who want nothing but love, and companionship...

I hope scotland follows as I know they will

Brilliant news a good step in the right direction I would give them 10 years hard labour and ban them from ever keeping any animal for the rest of their lives.

I'm doing this job when I'm older, I love animals they are my life

Excellent news!! I’m a huge fan of World Horse Welfare, and you can see in their past videos that they’ve tried to make the best of some really ridiculous sentences. I hope these changes will act as strong deterrents, but we’ll have to see.

That is amazing it makes me so happy that they have finally agreed

[@juliegriffin139]

Great news.......should be longer as they only do half the sentance but better than months ......
