LETTER: Tough sentences needed for animal cruelty

I HAVE read items in the paper regarding the dogs trained in the parks. It has been going on for years, so has dog fighting.

It is barbaric yet no-one does anything about it. Stop the breeders, those caught with any dog used for fighting, and sentence them to a minimum of 10 years.

Also the lovely cats that went missing “Noki and Stevie”, I am glad she has got them back as it is known these evil dog owners sometimes steal cats for baiting.

This country is far too soft when it comes to animals.

There is so much cruelty, tougher sentences and new laws are needed.
