Original petition
Addressed to: Government of Brazil
Increased penalties from four to eight years in prison to end the animal abuse
Increase the sentence of 4 years to 8 years in prison is important and necessary to finish once and for all with cowardice against animals and any kind of animal life!
Today is paid with only a fine the life taken by cowards against an innocent animal, be it a dog, a rabbit, a horse, a cat, or any other living being.
Sentenced to eight years, not two years minimum, six years should be in prison the murderer and not as now only providing community service or pay a basic food basket!
We asked the Brazilian government to do something urgently need to increase the penalties against crimes against animals!
