Background
Animal lovers in the UK are incensed at the continued paltry suspended sentences imposed by judges to those who have caused deliberate harm , pain and death to animals in their care . The UK is supposed to have the highest standards in animal welfare. The insulting suspended sentences imposed by judges does not reflect this. 29/06/21 the maximum sentence for animal cruelty was increased from 6 months to 5 years . In the last four years not one single sentence of five years has been imposed .
