| Review Microwave killing of cat in Camrose Alberta | 1248 Signatures |

Category: Animal Welfare
Region: Canada
Target: Amendment of Criminal Code
Petition text:
To: The House of Commons
We, the undersigned, believe that Canada needs to join the 21st century and other civilized countries in creating and passing more stringent legislation against torture and cruelty to animals. The lenient legal decision in the recent Camrose cat killing should never be repeated and we therefore ask Parliament for the following:
That the newly elected government introduce an effective bill to amend the Criminal code in respect to cruelty to animals” and review and revise the Youth Criminal Justice Act so that torture and cruelty to animals:
• becomes a felony offense
• is enforced equally to both legal age and underage offenders;
• is addressed as a priority, in the next parliamentary session, and passed into law.
