Protect our animals by implementing stricter penalties for abuse and neglect!

I propose this petition to be presented to Parliament.The goal is to establish a resolution requiring that all animal owners obtain a license to own a dog or any animal, and that they meet specific criteria to qualify for ownership. I would also like to have stricter penalties for abuse and neglect.

Background

In distressing reports regarding the suffering of dogs and other animals at the hands of humans, as well as the alarming instances of animals being abandoned in deplorable conditions. It has become increasingly evident that many individuals are able to acquire innocent animals, subjecting them to unimaginable suffering and neglect without facing any repercussions. It is imperative that we implement measures to ensure responsible pet ownership and protect the welfare of animals in our society.
