Banned from keeping animals for life

[NeedACleverNN]

Just watched the dog rescuers and a common punishment for those found guilty of animal abuse, is usually being banned from keeping animals for life.

How is this actually policed? If you moved to the other end of the country, changed your name and went to a local back yard breeder for a dog, no one would know would they?

AIBU to think this punishment is not adequate?

I suggest you re-read my post and maybe even lie down for a while, Gerry.

Which part?
I've wasted my time read it again. It's still a total cop out.

You know someone is breaching a court order, you refuse to report it.
You've moaned to your MP and...

Nothing.
