Hi here's my latest blog.. really need all of you to help spread the word
about the importance of letters to Justice Committee before the wrong Animal
Cruelty Bill is passed! Anything you can do to help spread the word would be
greatly appreciated! Thanx for supporting Bill C-373 and all you do for
animals! Take care, have a great week, and cross your fingers that
Daisy-Duke and all animals who have suffered horrific, sensless deaths will
get justice soon!
Thanx! Paula James - Bill C-373 Team

Why are we still fighting for effective animal legislation in Canada after
115 yrs of Gov't debate w/ no resolutions?
Here's Daisy-Duke's Story

Haskett's Trial starts tomorrow, May, 23. The other boy pled guilty and got
3 months House Arrest and probation. Tamara will be there, we hope others
are as well.

Please help with letters to Justice Committee before the wrong bill is
passed!
S-213 will soon be reviewed for reccomendation by the Justice Committee! We
need to let them know that this Bill is not acceptable, and after a century
of debate, we want laws in place that will help deter and punish offenders
before it spreads to humans! We need a Bill like C-373 in place that helps
close gaping loopholes with effective wording, inc all animals, owned or
not, instead of a few. And changes archaic wording that is inc in S-213,
which does nothing to change the fact that as law is now, and will remain
under useless S-213, 1/4 of 1% of charges actually lead to a punishment.
Both Bills call for punishment to offenders, same fines, and both are
changes to animal cruelty act under the criminal code. Neither apply to
fishing, farming, industry or research industries. We need effective
legislation to help protect animals against abuse and neglect!
Please see "Amendments at a glance" comparing Bill C-373, S-213 and current
law! http://ontariospca.ca/press_releases/2006/images/CFHS_backgrounder.pdf
Letters to Justice Committee, esp Chair, Vice Chair and Members are crucial
now! Ask to Support C-373 and reject S-213! (Associate Members are not
necessary as have no voting power)
