Tell your MP that their voting record on animal cruelty matters.
Since 1999 Canadians, such as you, have written letters to MPs, signed petitions and taken other actions to ensure that there is effective animal cruelty legislation in Canada. MPs have been told that it is not acceptable to only increase penalties when the real issue is our courts’ inability to get convictions. Under the current legislation only ¼ of 1% of animal cruelty complaints lead to a conviction.
Has your MP listened to you and voted to oppose S-203?
You now have the opportunity to contact your MP and congratulate them on standing up for democracy and representing their constituents or to contact them and ask why they have turned their backs on their voters.
Note: If your MP is not listed they were not present at the vote.
