PETNAPPERS SNATCH 150 DOGS A DAY

These days the most common crime is snatching pets. Thieves steal dogs and cats and they demand money to return the pets. Since 2005, this criminal activity has increased fourfold. This is the most important topic these days. You cannot leave your pet in the garden or park and some famous people are victims too, like Liz Hurley. Her dog was stolen. People pay hundreds of pounds to get their pets back and nowadays there is a rescue group who try to find people’s pets. They have found thousands of lost animals. Some people publish their phone numbers so that if someone finds the pub they can call them back. However, a lot of people call the victims just to laugh and make fun of them. This is a really big crime. Usually they want a ransom. People need to be careful.

- What should people do to reduce this crime?
- Do you think people should let their pets walk in the garden without someone near them?
