Coming soon to TV…Look for public service messages on TV soon! CFHS is extremely grateful to Samsara Arts in Montreal for producing two public service messages about responsible pet ownership. Samsara developed the two 30-second spots in French and English at no charge for the Canadian SPCA in Montreal. The SPCA then allowed CFHS to distribute copies through its member societies to television stations across Canada.

Circus Charged with Causing Animal SufferingA ringmaster and animal trainer with the George Carden Circus International pled guilty to a charge of causing five bears to suffer undue hardship, privation and neglect contrary to Newfoundland’s Animal Protection Act, arising from performances in Mount Pearl, Newfoundland in June 2000. They were sentenced May 1, 2001 and fined $200 each, the maximum allowed under the legislation. The judge stated that the penalties were inadequate and should be revisited. This is believed to be the first time a circus has been convicted of such animal mistreatment in Canada.
