That this House notes the tragic rise in pet abduction; further notes that pet theft is a traumatic experience; condemns the lack of a specific pet abduction offence; is horrified by the tragic story of Winnie a much loved family pet who went missing from her home on 4 September and, following a huge search by the people of Jarrow and South Shields, Winnie’s damaged and deceased body was discovered; believes that the emotional and welfare impact of this crime should be recognised; and calls on the Government to bring forward a single issue bill on pet abduction.
