PETS ARE FAMILY
NOT JUST PROPERTY

Pet Theft Reform has been campaigning to make pet theft a specific offence with access to appropriate custodial sentences since 2018.

"Pet Theft Reform is about family. With victims at the heart of the campaign, we recognise the importance of the human-animal bond, the devastating impact that animal abduction has on people and pets, and the need for pet abduction as a specific offence. Through evidence-based campaigning and collaboration, this cruel crime will be taken seriously."  - Dr. Daniel Allen
