BILL C-373

BILL C-373 is an anti-cruelty bill that recently did not pass. I read through the bill and it has several good points that would be nice if it was made law. No dog or cock fighting for example. But when I read this bill, I can also see the end of hunting, fishing, circuses. This bill may not end them now, but I can sure see it in the future.

I guess it goes without saying the Voice for Animals is not happy about this. Their response is about what I expected- "Politicians have ignored the call for stronger anti-cruelty laws, and have voted in Bill S-213, like the cowards they are. They have failed Canadians, and they have failed the innocent animals who suffer at the hands of cruel individuals."

Our politicians have done what they are supposed to do, they did not fail us. They got rid of a bill that is in the best interests of animal rights extremists, not the ordinairy Joe on the street. Had the bill been a little more *reasonable*, had it not threatened our hunting and fishing, there would have been a bigger chance of passing. But then again, if it was reasonable, the extremists would never agree to it. The link below is the bill

As always I warn everyone...make sure you understand where your donations are going. Look carefully into the animal rights organizations that you might want to support. You just may be in for a surprise.
