Did your MP vote for animals?


On April 9th, 189 MPs voted in favour of passing Bill S-203 despite strong opposition from every animal welfare group in the country. This weak and ineffective bill retains all of the loopholes in our century-old law, allowing most animal abusers to slip through the cracks unpunished. While the bill establishes stiffer penalties, it will not address the fact that less than 1% of animal cruelty investigations result in a conviction under the Criminal Code.


Our campaign for effective federal legislation to protect animals is far from over. As a first step, we need to thank the MPs who voted against Bill S-203 and encourage them to work with us to achieve a better law. If your MP voted for Bill S-203, let them know how disappointed you are that they didn’t represent your views in Parliament.
