Without these changes, those who abuse, torture and neglect animals will continue to go unpunished. A sad example of this months animal cruelty news can be seen here..
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=2559701041&topic=8571
 
Our useless laws need to be amended before more animals suffer and their abusers continue to go unpunished! Many studies have shown without punishments and deterrence in place, these people often move onto crimes on humans and is a major indicator of domestic abuse.
 
Sorry for the short notice, but along with your letters to MP's and Petition signatures, these rally's are extremely helpful and a great way to raise public awareness on this issue while showing the Gov't that animals matter also! Please help by attending if at all possible, spread the word to animal friends in those areas, alert media contacts, write letters to editors, etc.
Are you planning a rally in your area? Feel free to message me so I can help you get the word out!?
 
Together we can make a difference for animals in Canada! Thanx all!
