Dear Prime Minister,
As a cat fosterer, you demonstrate that you care about animals. Doesn’t that extend to all animals? Canada’s archaic inadequate animal cruelty law must be changed. It makes it very difficult to prosecute cases of neglect even where animals die from starvation. It permits training animals to fight and killing stray or wild animals for no reason.
Bill S-203 – the one the government supports – is NOT the answer It makes NO changes to the flawed offence; it only increases penalties. That’s to say the same 1892 legislation merely adjusted for inflation. In 2003 all political parties supported a bill that would fix the problems in our animal cruelty law, while protecting lawful activities such as hunting, fishing, farming, etc.
Why does the government now support a totally inadequate bill that will NOT properlt protect animals from cruelty?
Please STOP Bill S-203.
Canada’s Prime Minister is actively involved in fostering cats and promoting pet adoption from humane societies and SPCAs. To that end, the CFHS has prepared pre-printed postcards addressed to the Prime Minister, providing him with information on the animal cruelty updates and urging him to support effective animal cruelty amendments.
