For her birthday tomorrow, the only present Sophie would like is for the Quebec government to impose animal cruelty laws.
This province has very few animal cruelty laws and does not regulate breeders. Consequently, there are puppy mills all over the province. On the flip side, Beagles in Quebec are raised in clean environments as healthy puppies and then shipped en masse to Europe for lab testing.
None of these practices are illegal in Quebec.
For years, the Montreal SPCA has been appealing to the government to impose animal cruelty laws and has been lobbying for the power to inspect kennels to ensure that the laws are being met. Thus far, the government has not acted.
I'm not sure if the Quebec government will care about what people from far and wide think of this issue when they don't seem to care what their own citizens think, but you never know. If you have a little gumption and would like to circulate a petition and mail it in or write a letter, please do.
