The good news is that the UK intends to pass a law that enshrines the concept of animals being sentient beings that have emotions, memories, can feel pain etc.

So now (or at least when the law is introduced) rather than investigating the theft of an animal it will have to be elevated to the same thing as child abduction.
I can see it now, "Nationwide hunt for dog abductors!". As if the police aren't overstretched already.

Anyway, doesn't matter how many laws you make up, scrotes will steal something at the risk of a £50 fine and/or a week litter picking.

Prince Charlie talks to the trees, why should daffodills be different? They have feelings too.
