The Animal Welfare Sentencing Bill 2019 21 or Finn s Law Part 2 as it is better known increases the maximum punishment for animal cruelty from six months to five years It s long overdue

Can we please make something good come out of 2020 Please encourage your MP to make it a week of animal welfare wins

You probably know about Finn s Law but let me remind you

Finn is a hero He loved his job and was very good at it One fateful night an arrest went bad and Finn saved PC Dave Wardell s life

Finn refused to let go of the criminal despite being repeatedly stabbed with a very long blade

Before Finn s Law stabbing a police dog was the same in law as breaking the window of a police car it was just criminal damage

Finn s Law changed that but the shock was that the maximum tariff for animal cruelty was the woefully inadequate term of six months in prison

Dave and Finn couldn t leave it like that could they So that s why we have FinnsLawPart2 Press the out about ball to find more the book

Pet Theft is currently a criminal s dream A high reward very low risk crime

The UK s punishment of animal cruelty is one of the most lenient in the world

Please encourage your MP to change both things next week

Pets are part of our extended family sharing our lives and sofas The emotional bond is powerful Our laws should better protect them

There are so many things we can t change but you can really help by sending one email and encouraging others to do it too

Please use your voice as the pets don t have one

All the charities All the stake holders All the pet owners And there are 51 MILLION pets in Britain EVERYONE wants better Pet Theft and Cruelty deterrents

Please encourage your MP to take an active part in the October 19th Pet Theft debate and to the vote for better sentencing for animal cruelty on Friday October 23rd
