In April 2008, Parliament passed Bill S-203. The Bill increased the jail time and other penalties for animal abuse. Recent headlines show that little has changed. Offenders and their lawyers continue to exploit flaws and loopholes in the law to get off with a mere slap on the wrist or no penalty at all. The burden of proof that Crown Attorneys, police and SPCA investigators must meet in order to successfully prosecute these crimes is too high since its virtually impossible to prove that the cruelty was willful in its intent and unnecessary. We need the government of Canada to pass modern and enforceable legislation that protects all animals from cruelty and abuse. Animals matter to Canadians - its time to reflect this in our laws. Please take the time to sign this petition for the two Boxers in Peterborough that were left to starve to death. change.org/en-CA/petitions/mayor-and-city-council-of-peterborough-ontario-provincial-court-ospca-justice-for-2-boxer-dogs-left-to-starve-to-death
