People who abuse animals should face up to five years in prison instead of just the current six month maximum in england and wales. Thats according to Battersea Dogs And Cats Home which has published a report arguing the current legislation is outdated. Dan freedman reports. It is images like these, campaigners say, that show and it were Animal Abusers to receive tougher sentences. These rescue dogs have been underfed and badly mistreated but even the most serious acts of violence against animals can carry shorter prison terms than nonviolent crimes such as fighting. Today, the current six month maximum sentence in england and wales was called a shocking and laughable, arguing it should be increased tenfold. In scotland, the maximum is one year. We have a situation where Northern Ireland has much tougher sentences than the rest of the uk. What we have seen is, for example, some of the people involved in the international dogfighting industry, coming over to britain to ply their trade here because they know we are a soft touch, they know that if they get caught they are likely to get away with just a smack on the rest. Latest figures show the average prison term for somebody convicted of animal correctly is little more than three months and the majority of offenders face fines or community sentences. The government says it shares the publics high regard for Animal Welfare and kept these strict regulations under regular review that ahead of the debate on the issue in Parliament Later this week, the report argues that Public Opinion would support tougher sentences. At shelters like this one, it is often the victims of Animal Cruelty that end up behind bars. Campaigners say it is high time the perpetrators face the same fate and for longer.
