"The proposed amendments to the Criminal Code announced today by the Minister of Justice will serve as a deterrent to crimes against animals. Animal abuse should be considered a serious offence based on the fundamental moral value of animals as beings capable of suffering." The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies has urged reform of the Criminal Code , Cruelty to Animals sections for over 18 years. CFHS has been supported in its fight by the rapid growth in public concern about animal welfare in the past two decades. Animal abuse cases horrify people. A kitten was found in a dumpster after being thrown from a third-floor balcony, then stomped, punched, choked and spiked. Several dogs have been dragged behind vehicles by their owners recently, resulting in unspeakable suffering. A farmer allowed a third herd of cattle to starve to death.

Animal Welfare Issues Dog Fighting Pit Bull Ban Pet/Child Abuse Bill License Plate Update ... Home Speak out against Breed Specific Legislation (BSL) In the city of Chicago, 19th Ward Alderman Virginia A. Rugai has proposed an ordinance that would prohibit Chicago residents from owning, transporting or selling pit bulls (including pit bull mixes). Violators would be subject to fines of up to $1,000, and/or up to 6 months in jail. This law would take effect 30 days after passage and contains no grandfather clause for current owners, which means that responsible dog owners would be forced to give up their canine companions. PAWS Chicago, along with a host of other local and national animal welfare organizations, opposes this legislation, because targeting breeds simply does not work in achieving the desired results. We support "dangerous/vicious" dog provisions that focus on the behavior of an individual dog, regardless of its breed, and strong laws that penalize irresponsible dog owners. Breed specific legislation (BSL), like Alderman Rugai's, singles out a particular breed without regard to the behavior of the individual animal.

Do you breed dogs in the State? Maybe, you are not a resident nor a breeder. However, this still affects you. Illinois State Legislators passed a law "dangerous dog" act for the state. BUT, piggy backed to this law was a requirement that counties must impose breeder fees and or litter fees. It has been proven that these types of fees will only empower government. AND, it harms the responsible breeder. Below is AKC's link to this story. TIME is short. Contact Illinois' governor to let him know how you feel. AND, get the word out there.

Council of Docked Breeds welcomed Government moves away from a total ban on tail docking Council of Docked Breeds welcomed Government moves away from a total ban on tail docking The Council of Docked Breeds (CDB) has welcomed Government moves away from a total ban on tail docking within the forthcoming Animal Welfare Bill, but has warned that limiting exemptions to specific breeds could signal a repeat of the chaos of the Dangerous Dogs Act. In an interview with The Times, animal welfare Minister Ben Bradshaw MP has acknowledged that there is a strong case for allowing docking to continue. Mr Bradshaw commented: “It seems odd to me that we allow human circumcision and, therefore, we should not be over-draconian in terms of animal welfare law. I want sensible, but useful and meaningful, reforms.” However, he has indicated that only a few particular breeds of dog will escape a docking ban.

To the industry, the numbers are as sobering as a dog howling at midnight: One-third of all liability claims against homeowners stem from dog bites, a statistic that the insurance industry claims has forced it to pay out $310 million annually. For many insurance companies, these numbers add up to an outright ban on certain breeds. While such a step may have been considered extreme at one time, the industry says it is now just a consequence of the society we live in. But the consequences of breed bans stretch far beyond denied coverage and the dollars and cents of the insurance industry. The bans are also having a chilling effect on dog ownership in the United States, and are forcing shelters to deal with those who choose their insurance policy over their dog.
