Psychopaths like that need putting away for a long time.Sad Pathetic turn out considering how much they are paid. To be fair, they do have other things to do as well, and all the MP's have monitors in their offices. |

Kenny, the debate was taking place either side of 13:30. Not hard to work out where they all were. Do they have monitors in the bars and restaurants too?

Posibly a good pont although I nearly always lunched 12-1.
Whenever I've seen, or glanced at debates, there's nearly always a sparse crowd |

That's true, there were a lot more in there to listen to David Davis immediately before. A nation of animal lovers? Bah.

The Teacher asks the kids to explain the difference between involved and committed. Little Johnny says it's like Bacon and Eggs miss. How so Johnny, says Teacher. Well miss, the hens involved but the pigs committed.

Dear Mr Mann,
Thank you for your email of 6 April to the Minister of State about sentencing measures for those charged with animal cruelty. I have been asked to reply. The Government takes the issue of animal welfare very seriously. Under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 (the 2006 Act), it is an offence either to cause any captive animal unnecessary suffering or to fail to provide for the welfare needs of the animal. As such, anyone who is cruel to an animal, or does not provide for its welfare needs, may face an unlimited fine or be sent to prison for up to six months or both. A court may, in addition, deprive a person of ownership of an animal if it is satisfied that to leave the animal with its owner would expose it to further cruelty. The court may also disqualify a convicted person from having custody of an animal for such a period (including life) as it sees fit. It is for the courts to decide on an appropriate penalty based on the individual circumstances of each case. We keep the maximum penalties for offences relating to animal cruelty under constant review and are in regular discussion with the Ministry of Justice on appropriate sentencing levels. The average sentence for general animal cruelty is about 3.4 months’ imprisonment. In terms of the policy on sentencing, the Government considers that the recently revised Magistrates’ Courts Sentencing Guidelines, which will be effective from 24 April 2017 and which are applicable in the case of animal cruelty offences, will allow magistrates more flexibility with regard to imposing penalties towards the upper end of the scale. The Sentencing Council has stated that it aims to ensure that the most serious cases of animal cruelty receive appropriate severe sentences within the available maximum. Yours sincerely, Simon Forbes Ministerial Contact Unit Defra |
