WHAT'S HAPPENING

The BC SPCA and the Canadian Federation of Humane Societies are working to create awareness of farm animal transportation issues in Canada, and encourage humane societies, SPCAs, and caring individuals across Canada to help spread the word to encourage the federal government and the CFIA to make progressive changes to Canada's regulations.

Make a difference by voicing your support for our recommendations to Canada's Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food.

Add your own brief comments or leave as-is, and complete the form below
to speak for those who cannot speak for themselves.

Dear Minister,

I would like to thank you for increasing the penalties for infractions under Canada's animal transport regulations, but more action is still needed to protect the welfare of farm animals in transport.

Canada's current animal transport regulations are decades-old and inadequate by modern standards. I am greatly concerned by the lack of minimum loading densities, the weak definitions for unfit animals and the extremely long transport times that are allowed in the current regulations.

Accordingly, I would like to voice my support for the BC SPCA's Report to the CFIA on the Proposed Amendments to the Transportation of Animals Regulations.

In addition to stronger regulations, better inspection and enforcement activities are urgently needed to protect these animals.
