Leelaa17 Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Hi guys, I have created a petition for harsher penalties towards animal cruelty in NSW (please, even if you aren't in NSW - help us out). At the moment penalties can be seen at a 6 month jail term or a small fine. For aggravated cruelty to animals it is a 2 year jail sentence and a larger fine. This isn't acceptable. A lot of the time there are loop holes and it is rare that people will go to jail, if they do - they get out early. They 'aren't allowed to own a dog' - yet what is stopping them from going to a backyard breeder? Please help me by signing the petition. I need 10,000 signatures before September 30 and with whatever I have I will be sending it to the Minister for Agriculture, Fisheries and Forestry. And because QLD have just tripled their punishment from 2yrs to 7yrs - I don't think it will take much for NSW to get on board. We can do this guys. Please help. http://www.thepetitionsite.com/4/harsher-p...animals-in-nsw/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lollipup Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 I signed it, although I am in QLD. I agree they should be harsher in every state. If only the offenders could have done to them what they inflicted on the innocent animal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leelaa17 Posted March 31, 2011 Author Share Posted March 31, 2011 you are all amazing - I am taking this extremely seriously. If anyone would like to write a letter for me to compile with my documentation I would be happy to send it through with other info I have gathered. I am also finding all the relevant news articles on abuse and what penalties the people have got for them and putting them altogether to send them through with the petition as well. we're going to do this guys!!

GavinM Posted March 31, 2011 Share Posted March 31, 2011 Good for you guys for signing it, and I agree with the principle of it. Unfortunately, internet petitions are a complete waste of time and solve nothing. With rare exceptions of course, like with tens of thousands of signatures and involving the media and people in high places Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
