Louise Simpson is advocating for harsher penalties for pet killings after her dog, Peggy, died in a fire set by her ex-partner, Adrian West, post-release from police custody. Despite enduring years of abuse from West, his six-year sentence did not account for Peggy’s death, as pets are legally viewed as property. Louise is now petitioning for legal reform to recognize the value of companion animals, emphasizing that Peggy was her constant support throughout her struggles.
