Kent's animal welfare campaigners call for tougher pet theft penalties

Kent's animal welfare campaigners are calling for tougher penalties to be imposed on pet thieves.

The issue will soon be considered for debate in parliament, thanks to a petition signed by more than 100,000 people.

Campaigners say it is a growing problem, made worse by the fact the crime is classed no differently to having a bicycle stolen.
