The new pet abduction offence could be added to the government's controversial Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts (PCSC) Bill, which is going through parliament.

Pet thieves could face tougher sentences under the government's plans to create a new criminal offence.

Currently, pets are legally classed as property, so when they're taken it's no different to a stolen bike or laptop.

Animal abductors and abusers should be sent to North Korea

Good but they shouldn’t just serve part of there time in prison they should serve the whole term and the sentences should be the same that if you kidnap a child

wish someone would steal the yapping little lovably balls of fur in my neighbour hood 😏😏😏

Better make any sentence mandatory and not up to the judge’s discretion as we all know what happens then .. SUSPENDED SENTENCE an ol favourite of theirs

Good!! Something needs to be done...

This good news, pets are not just possessions they are family members & the sentence given for abduction should reflect this. Bring it on!

I welcome the new law because something has to protect pet and owner , this sounds like a good deterrent which was alway's needed 🐕 👍.

About time lock them up

Through experience, I truly believe that any/every pet should be tagged/chipped. I can appreciate not everyone agreeing to this. However..... some fucers robbed my carpet last year.😡

Any chance of posh fucks getting tougher sentences for hunting with hounds?

Pets are like family members, I would like to see some serious sentences for these types of offences. Kidnappers would return my pooch in a heartbeat, he's a nightmare but he's my best friend. I'm not into cats but I bet cat owners feel the same, they are family.

The terrorists producing factories and their safe havens are in Islamabad and Lahore of Pakistan. The terrorists are coming from Pakistan to destry Afghanistan. President Joe Biden pls ordered ur B52 to hit and dertroy the terrorists producing factories in Pakistan.

Pet theft is a terrible crime but it is possible for people’s intentions to be misconstrued when they assume that an animal is lost or abandoned and they take action to reunite it with its owner.

Off with their hands

About time

good luck
