e-752 (Cruelty to animals)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- The Criminal Code is written in such a way that makes it very difficult to hold puppy mill owners accountable;
- Recent attempts to modernize Canada’s animal rights laws have been unsuccessful;
- Canada’s current laws have remained mostly unchanged since 1892;
- We are concerned that puppy mill owners often face only a fine and see it as a part of doing business; and
- Canadian law makes it an offence to engage in animal fighting however, training animals to fight and accepting money from animal fighting is not an offence.
