A devastating bill will soon be considered by legislators in Ontario, Canada.
Carleton-Mississippi Mills MPP Jack MacLaren is reportedly introducing a bill that would drastically weaken Ontario Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (OSPCA) of its ability to EFFECTIVELY INVESTIGATE ANIMAL ABUSE!
If the bill is passed, OSPCA officers would no longer be allowed to remove animals from abusive situations or file charges for abuse or neglect (they would only be able to take notes when conducting inspections!). OSPCA officers who suspect abuse would be able to call a veterinarian to examine animals, but the suspected abuser would be allowed to choose the vet! And even if the vet deemed an animal to be in danger, the red tape imposed by this bill would unnecessarily delay the animal's rescue.
THE BILL IS REPORTEDLY SCHEDULED TO BE INTRODUCED ON MONDAY MARCH 19th 2012!!!!
Speak out against MPP Jack MacLaren's proposed bill!
Along with signing this petition please write letters to your (MPPS) Members of Provincial Parliament and urge them to oppose any weakening of Ontario's animal protection laws. And please, forward this URL to everyone you know and have them sign this petition. We need over 700 signatures!!!
We, the people of Ontario including animal owners, animal lovers and members of the community call on the introduction of the elimination of Ontario Animal Protection Laws to be WITHDRAWN!
For animals to no longer be protected from abuse is absurd and we will not sit by and support it.
