SD supports creating a specialist law enforcement branch for animal welfare and call for stricter penalties against animal cruelty. In 2017, the SD members of the Riksdag Justice Committee filed a motion calling for extended prison sentences for those found guilty of animal abuse which was ultimately supported by the other parties.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://www.riksdagen.se/sv/dokument-och-lagar/dokument/motion/skarpta-straff-for-djurplageri-_h5022384/ |title=Skärpta straff för djurplågeri |access-date=2025-01-16}}</ref> The party opposes EU influence over domestic laws on hunting, farming and forestry within Sweden, calling for such policies to be decided upon by rural Swedes instead of Brussels. SD is also critical of non-stun animal slaughter and want to ban the import of goods that contradict Swedish animal welfare legislation.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://sd.se/vad-vi-vill/jaktpolitik/ |title=Beslut om svensk jakt ska fattas i Sverige|access-date=2025-01-16}}</ref>
