Animals are sentient beings capable of feeling pain, suffering, and emotional distress — this is a fact that the European Union, the United Kingdom, and many other countries have already recognized in their laws. We believe it’s time for Canada to do the same.
That’s why MP Elizabeth May, leader of the Green Party of Canada, has sponsored a parliamentary petition calling for the recognition of animal sentience in Canadian law.
There are two simple steps you can take to help amplify this important call-to-action for animal welfare:
- Sign the parliamentary petition.
- Use the form on this page to send a message directly to your MP.
Every voice counts. Let’s work together to protect animals in Canada.
