Animal abuse is on the rise in Canada, yet animal abusers go unpunished because animal cruelty laws in Canada have NOT been updated since 1892.
What can we do? Promote Bill C-246 - a bill that if passed will improve protection for animals.

Animal abuse is on the rise in Canada, with most victims being dogs (70.1%), cats (20.9%), and other animals such as horses and livestock (24.1%). Animal abusers are also highly likely to commit other crimes, including domestic violence and child abuse.
Yet, these violent individuals go unpunished because ineffective animal cruelty laws in Canada have not been updated since 1892.
What can we do? There is currently a private member's bill before parliament - Bill C-246 - that would improve protection for animals.
