Whilst doing some research before bringing home our lovely rescue dog, I found out that people convicted of animal cruelty in the UK can be allowed to keep animals again in as little as 5 years. Just a quick search through the RSPCA's social media feeds will bing up countless examples of animals receiving horrific treatment, with their abusers getting completely abysmal punishment.
