What we’re campaigning for – National Animal Offenders Register<\/h2>\n

The creation of a system connected to already existing intelligence databases that would allow enforcement agencies to track repeat offenders, monitor bans, and identify links between animal abuse and other crimes earlier. The Register would act as a notification system, flagging individuals convicted of animal abuse and making it easier to detect their involvement in other criminal activity. This is especially important for those who have been banned from owning animals, as animal abuse is often an early indicator of wider patterns of offending.<\/p>\n
