This is welcome. We had a streak of cat killings in London and police is not doing much, because if someone got caught the maximum penalty for such cruelty is 6 months. It essentially means having to wear a tag for few months and maybe do some street sweeping.
This is disproportionate to the trauma caused to families. For many the suffering is comparable to losing a human family member.
- doggodaddo78 5y agoWhat's "wearing a tag"?

- jazu 5y ago6 months for killing a cat doesn’t seem unreasonable.
- intricatedetail 5y agoIt is a maximum sentence possible. I would like to see at least 5 years for that and financial compensation. People who do that to animals, should be isolated from society until they are safe to be released. Most killers start with animals. I am guessing you have never suffered such trauma and you are incapable of being close with an animal to know what it's like to lose it.
