Rejected petition Impose a custodial sentence for abuse on farm animals

Impose a custodial sentence for any form of abusive cruelty imposed on farm animals.

More details

Many farms animals are being treated with appallingly cruelty, especially dairy cows, which has recently been in the media showing unrelenting abusive cruelty at its highest level.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the Senedd or Welsh Government is not responsible for.

Matters relating to the criminal justice system are not devolved to Wales.

Petitions must concern an issue on which the Senedd or the Welsh Government can take direct action and, therefore, we are not able to accept this petition.

Further information about the powers and responsibilities of the Senedd can be found here: https://senedd.wales/how-we-work/our-role/powers/
