That should be the minimum as a start .... not maximum.
We’re a nation of animal lovers & I love my dog Phoebe 
. I'll never understand how anyone could abuse animals. I’m thrilled @DefraGovUK is increasing maximum animal cruelty sentences from 6 months to 5 years - a clear message there's no place for animal cruelty in the UK.pic.twitter.com/bGX71oV6Sq

Thanks for caring about this matter Rachel, in addition to all of the other extremely valuable work you cram into your schedule, I also adore my little dog so this is good news.

Thank goodness for a positive change in sentencing. I’ve often wondered if there is a correlation between animal abuse and human assault. If someone could stab a dog, are they likely to go on to stab a person? Is is an escalation type crime?

Your party has claimed animals do not feel pain, so therefore the tories should go to prison

That’s not true. We’re enshrining animal sentience in UK law as part of the Animal Welfare Bill.
