Stop the rising number of ear-cropped dogs in the UK
Sign this petition Gov Responded - 9 Mar 2021 Debated on - 7 Jun 2021 View Victoria Prentis's petition debate contributionscloses in 3 weeks, 3 days
Leading veterinary and welfare bodies are concerned by the alarming rise in ear-cropped dogs in the UK. Ear cropping is illegal in the UK and an unnecessary, painful mutilation with no welfare benefit. The practice involves cutting off part of the ear flap, often without anaesthesia or pain relief.
Petition Closed
Make pet theft crime a specific offence with custodial sentences.
Gov Responded - 31 Mar 2020 Debated on - 19 Oct 2020 View Victoria Prentis's petition debate contributionsclosed 10 months, 4 weeks ago
Pet Theft Reform 2020: Revise the sentencing guidelines in the Theft Act 1968 to reclassify pet theft as a specific crime. Ensure that monetary value is irrelevant for the categorisation of dog and cat theft crime for sentencing purposes. Recognise pet theft as a category 2 offence or above.
