An amazing week for animals

 

View in browser A huge milestone Last week proved to be an amazing week for animals and Battersea’s campaign for tougher cruelty sentences.   The Government in Westminster has announced it plans to raise the maximum sentence for animal cruelty in England from six months to five years.   Battersea stands ready to support this move to five year sentences in every way possible. There is still work to do to see new laws passed in England, Scotland and also Wales.   Thank you to everyone who has supported the campaign. If you would like to stand up against animal cruelty, it’s not too late to email your MP. There is still work to do, and we need to keep the momentum going to see this change become law. Stand up for animals The loneliest dogs New statistics show black Greyhounds are the loneliest dogs at Battersea’s Old Windsor centre. Could you give dogs like Serena and Eddie their retirement homes?
