Criminalise the neglect and physical abuse of animals


Criminalise the neglect and physical abuse of animals
The Issue
"Acts of cruelty to animals are not mere indications of a minor personality flaw in the abuser; they are symptomatic of a deep mental disturbance. Research in psychology and criminology shows that people who commit acts of cruelty to animals don’t stop there—many of them move on to their fellow humans. “Murderers … very often start out by killing and torturing animals as kids,” says Robert K. Ressler, who developed profiles of serial killers for the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI).(1)"
Ireland needs to wake up now and at least take some level of action to change the law and send a very clear message of ZERO TOLERANCE.
Please consider signing and passing on until we are drowning in signatures. A huge thanks, Gorm
