Editor:
Bill C-246, the Modernizing Animal Protections Act, is a private member’s bill submitted to Parliament to improve anti-cruelty laws in Canada. If passed, this will be the first substantive change to Canada’s animal protection laws in over a decade. That’s a very long time!
It upsets many people who care about animals to see someone who has abused animals go to court, only to get a slap on the wrist. Until we have laws in place to charge them, this will not change.
If you care about animals and feel it’s long overdue to have laws to protect them, go to animalalliance.ca and vote yes.
