Target: Hon. Lesley Griffiths, Minister for Environment, Energy, and Rural Affairs, Welsh Government, UK
Goal: Implement stricter animal welfare laws and ensure rigorous enforcement to address the rising cases of animal abuse in Wrexham and across Wales.
Recent figures reveal a concerning increase in animal cruelty reports in Wrexham and across Wales. Between January and June 2024, RSPCA Cymru received 121 reports of animal abuse in Wrexham alone, contributing to a total of 3,059 cruelty reports across Wales. This alarming rise in incidents is part of a broader trend observed across England and Wales, with cruelty complaints increasing by over two percent compared to the same period last year.
The RSPCA’s “No Animal Deserves Cruelty” summer appeal aims to tackle this escalating crisis. The charity has historically seen a spike in cruelty reports during the summer months, with intentional harm towards animals and beatings rising significantly. Last year, the RSPCA received a report of animal cruelty every five minutes during its busiest summer months, highlighting the urgent need for more robust measures to protect animals.
Karen Colman, head of the RSPCA welfare oversight team, emphasizes the critical role the charity plays in rescuing animals from cruelty, investigating harm, and preventing further abuse. However, the rising number of cases indicates that current efforts are insufficient to curb the trend. The situation calls for immediate action from authorities to strengthen animal welfare laws and ensure their strict enforcement.
The community’s support is crucial in making a difference. The RSPCA’s appeal seeks to raise vital funds to help animals in desperate need and to ensure that every animal receives the kindness and care they deserve. As summer poses a particularly challenging time for the charity, collective efforts are necessary to tackle the alarming levels of cruelty and to create a safer environment for all animals. Ensure rigorous enforcement to address the rising cases of animal abuse.
PETITION LETTER:
Dear Hon. Lesley Griffiths,
I am writing to express my deep concern regarding the increasing cases of animal cruelty in Wrexham and across Wales, as highlighted by recent RSPCA Cymru reports. Between January and June 2024, there were 121 reported incidents of animal abuse in Wrexham alone, contributing to a total of 3,059 cruelty reports across Wales. This represents a worrying rise in animal cruelty incidents that requires immediate attention and action.
The RSPCA’s “No Animal Deserves Cruelty” campaign has underscored the severity of this issue, particularly during the summer months when reports of intentional harm and beatings escalate significantly. Last year, the RSPCA received a report of animal cruelty every five minutes during its busiest summer period. This trend is deeply concerning and highlights the urgent need for more robust measures to protect animals and prevent abuse.
I urge you to take immediate and decisive action to implement stricter animal welfare laws and ensure rigorous enforcement of existing regulations. It is imperative that we address this crisis head-on by providing the necessary resources and support to organizations like the RSPCA, which are on the frontline of rescuing and caring for abused animals.
Your intervention in this matter is crucial to safeguarding the welfare of animals and upholding the principles of compassion and justice in our society. By strengthening our commitment to animal welfare, we can help prevent further cruelty and ensure that every animal receives the care and kindness they deserve.
Sincerely,
[Your Name Here]

Wonder how much further our spineless corrupt judiciary will push the no penalty agenda they clearly have. Sack the lot and put a panel of public in place to determine punishments that are a proper penalty and deterrent, like hard labour and spartan jails without any luxuries. Its called punishment for a reason doh. People need to know there is a line where you dont get second chances, but our corrupt incompetant judiciary would try to rehab Jack the Ripper, so risible is their intellectual capacity and understanding of human psychology. Utter bloody disgrace, they shame the nation
100% agree!!!

I always want to express my feelings and disgust about animal abuse and leave comments wherever necessary, but I have no idea *who* actually reads this comments section or whether these comments are *helping* the situation at all.
This is exactly what I am saying also. What happens to the bloody ‘perps’ ?!?

We are seeing and dealing with an angry public. It is seen that we allow criminals to walk away from animal torture and deaths with no punishment. That is wrong! I feel, although it isn’t popular, that these people are taking out on animals and kids what they want to do to others in society. We need to push these criminals in the exact same way they acted towards their victims. The exact pain, fear, torture, and death, or near death, so the criminal will finally know how it feels to suffer and suffer massively. Nothing short of this will do. Many people are Morans and must be shown how their actions affected others. Once felt, no mercy, these criminals won’t be back!

Top submission.
Everyone needs to read this and know it is what is needed to stop these animal torturing diseased minded turds (male or female) DEAD in their tracks. The emphasis being on the word DEAD.
There is NO cure for these pricks. Nothing will work on their unhinged brains. They will just keep on doing it over and over as like ‘druggies’ they must have their fix!!
The only good animal torturing bastard is a DEAD one. Well, not necessarily good but at least the bastards would not be torturing innocent animals anymore!!
