What's wrong with what they have now?

We'd HAVE tougher laws for all of Canada if almost a decade ago the Canadian Alliance hadn't been a bag of dicks and killed an animal cruelty bill. Link.

Why do we need more legislation though?

[ridenrain]

If I remember correctly, that bill just some bullshit way to sneak in some more anti-hunting moves?
That's why it was killed.

Right.

Because existing laws aren't good enough.

Edit: Huh, I guess a stiffer law was passed. NVM.

Right.

Bill C-15B also legitimized third party legal actions, which raised the specter of well-funded animal rights groups taking anglers, hunters, trappers, and farmers to court. The possibility of that happening was enough to catalyze opposition to Bill C-15B. The next iteration was Bill C-20, a better bill, but it died on the order paper with the calling of the 2006 general election.

Apparently my MLA had a few dozen letters pass by her desk. I guess she wants to look busy....

They are suppose to have a town hall meeting about this, I wouldnt mind popping in to see why people think there needs to be more laws to control how people euthanize their animals.
