Sentencing for Animal Cruelty

Yesterday I gave a speech in Parliament about sentencing for animal cruelty and I understand that many of my constituents care deeply about animal welfare issues.

I spoke about the many different ways in which we can act to help reduce the number of acts of animal cruelty that sadly blight our society. In particular I highlighted the importance of raising awareness and the vital role that education can play in prevention.
