Originally posted by dj adagnitio In Canada our animal cruelty legislation is very weak and offers little protection for animals, and more importantly barelly deals with the issue by providing minimal sentances. A bill has been proposed that will create stiffer penalties and allow judges to have the freedom to impose a harsher sentance, should they see fit. Here is the link to a petition in support of the bill please everyone sign it. It doesn't ask for anything aside from a name and e-mail address so it shouldn't matter if you are Canadian or not. http://www.petitiononline.com/kittyb73/petition.html Thanks to all who do!

Happy to take part. Many of the states here in the Midwest are much the same way - very lenient. It's really frustrating, considering those who are cruel to animals have a high propensity for other violent crimes. But farm-raised animals has a lot to do with legislation here, so the state lawmakers have been reluctant to do more.

Anyway, HTH

Disgusts me to see or hear of people mistreating animals so I gladly took the liberty of signing the petition to help.
