From my friend Anne in Toronto who has worked so hard to keep the public updated on Bill C-15. Please check out her website as well - we still need to send letters to our Ottawa Senators who will meet again in September.

Hi All,

Anne Gibson
We just got this letter in yesterday from Senator Sharon Carstairs.
In the past she claimed that animal cruelty ought not to be removed from the property section of the criminal code and that the proposed "amendments" would not harm the animals. Obviously, since then she has reconsidered.
Cheers,
Anne
p.s. I am *sure* that our 'gentle, reasonable persuasion' has had some sort of an impact. Good work!

The worst sin towards our fellow creatures is not to hate them, but to be indifferent to them, that's the essence of inhumanity.
