To reflect the higher maximum penalties introduced by the Animal Welfare (Sentencing) Act 2021, the Council is currently developing a revised guideline for animal cruelty offences, and plans to consult on that revision in due course. The Council has also published interim guidance for offences committed on or after 29 June 2021 to take account of the increase in maximum penalties.
