LETTER: Time to reform laws on cruelty to animals
A RECENT article in your newspaper referred to a cat killed by yobs with dogs and stamping on its head in Barrowford.
This was a cruel act and would have caused untold pain to a defenceless animal.
The only solution to this and other cases, be it human or animals, is for this Government to get its act together, reform the pathetic laws we have and punish these people by inflicting the same treatment on them.
It will only take one or two examples to stop this. I receive a lot of information from animal charities and there are a lot of horrible cases of cruelty.
