Animal abuse in New Zealand is a growing problem, and articles such as the SPCA's annual list of shame highlight the ineffective and ridiculously light penalties received by offenders. Dealing out insufficient consequence for the severe neglect, abuse, and death of animals all over the country, such as a light fine or a few hours community service, we as a nation are pardoning and encouraging the continued offense. Please take a moment to sign this petition in support of harsher penalties for animal abusers to create a safer and just country for all animals.
these poor animals deserve so much better than what they get right now. sick of hearing about people getting away with murder for a pathetic fine.
