Support reform of animal abuse laws

This petition was published by Rocky on Jan 16, 2007

We, the undersigned, agree with the proposed bill S213 in regards to increasing the maximum jail time and/or fines for those convicted of cruelty to animals. Such legislation should also include an appropriate ban from owning animals.

We further ask that the government define abuse as to not to include farmers who may be simply be performing routine operations.

Law should be directed at those whom intentionally or unintentionally performed acts which could cause harm to an animal as decided by judge or jury.
Conservative MP Myron Thompson has promised to pursue this bill for balance when parliament resumes. We want changes in maximum penalties completed by fall session.
