Pet abduction becomes a specific offence in NI

“A pet being stolen from the family just can’t be replaced like your TV or your laptop.”

As a manager at Assisi Animal Sanctuary in Newtownards, Anna Morton knows all too well how important a pet is to an owner.

Until today, pets were treated as property rather than sentient beings.

From Saturday, the Pet Abduction Act changes that.

Under the legislation, anyone found guilty of taking a cat, or taking or detaining a dog, could face up to five years in prison, a fine, or both.
