Make Pet Theft A Specific Crime In Uk Law
52 Answers
Two children were accosted in our village yesterday while walking their dog. They had been following the children asking what kind of dog they had.Luckily one child escaped with the dog and the two men jumped back in their car and sped off. Please if you have not already done so can you sign the following Petion. To lose a dog like this must be heart-breaking and its happening on a daily basis. Thank you.

The Government's reply cites the Theft Act 1968, and presumably Section 1.4(4), which includes animals in the definition of Property. I'm not sure I agree that this is enough. Theft of pets should be seen as legally and morally equivalent to kidnapping, not as equivalent to stealing a TV.

Thanks for everyone who has taken the time to sign this petition and to share. I, myself, was utterly astounded that stealing a family pet is not a specific criminal offence in UK Law! Stealing what is essentially a member of your family is NOT the same as stealing your mobile phone! Please get the link onto your social media pages and lets try and push this for this -only 7000 more signatures required before this can be put to Parliament. Thanks!
