CURRENT PETITIONS

PLEASE SIGN & SHARE THE FOLLOWING E-PETITIONS

We’re often asked about petitions that hold real value. In Canada, we focus on Member of Parliament-sponsored petitions because they are geo-tagged, ensuring they reach the right elected officials. Online petitions generally lack influence, as politicians prioritize feedback from their own constituents. However, MP-sponsored petitions with enough signatures are formally read in Parliament, giving them greater impact.

If you have an MP-sponsored petition or a letter-writing campaign you believe we should promote, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us!

The Honourable Lawrence MacAulay, the current Minister of Agriculture and Agri-Food, has the power to end the inhumane export of horses by air for slaughter by enacting a regulatory amendment.

Again, every action makes a difference. Please help spread the word by sharing this email campaign with friends and family! You can also donate to support the three surviving horses relinquished before 16 horses were seized by Animal Welfare Services (AWS) of Ontario.

It took Animal Welfare Services 8 days to show up for the first time even after two horses died.

The Member of Parliament Petition (E-2410)  put forward in 2020 by Shelley Grainger has closed.  It closed with a very respectable 4,632 signatures, and it was presented to Members of Parliament in the House of Commons.

HOWEVER as of March 2021 another Member of Parliament petition is circulating.

This type of petition has more clout than most because it will be presented in the House of Commons if it reaches over 500 signatures.

As of March 3rd, 2021 this new petition has reached… 24,267 signatures.

BUT please even though this petition has more momentum than the last, PLEASE take the time to sign.

After you sign, you’ll need to confirm your signature by replying to the email the petition generates.

P.S.  After you have filled out the form, PLEASE wait for an email to confirm your signature.

THANK YOU for signing and for sharing far and wide!.

Over the last 15 years, Rebeka Breder developed a unique practice in animal law, and founded the first law firm in Western Canada to exclusively focus on animal law.

She takes on only those cases that advance the interests of animals. She was counsel in the first few cases to successfully save “dangerous” dogs in BC since the law changed in 2019.

She is counsel for the Canadian Horse Defence Coalition, which is appealing to the Federal Court of Appeal in a ground-breaking case, where for the first time, an animal protection group has sued the government over the transportation of animals in Canada.

She was counsel in the first pet custody case in Canada that recognized jurisdiction to allow shared custody of a companion animal.

She is counsel for clients whose dogs were shot by police, in cases which may impact the duties police officers owe to people and their dogs.

She is counsel for a client whose dog was electrocuted while out for a walk on city property, a case which may impact the monetary damages that may be awarded for loss of a pet.

She continues to be heavily involved in the animal protection community in her spare time, including working behind the scenes with a city councillor for making amendments to “aggressive dog” bylaws in Vancouver, being a member of local groups for the protection of animals and making various presentations to city councils for the protection of bears, trees and companion animals.

She was on the board of the Vancouver Humane Society for over 10 years.

She has given over a dozen animal law lectures internationally and nationally. She has been featured in media on various topical animal law issues and had previously appeared in a documentary on the captivity of cetaceans.

She also continues to spend a significant amount of time monthly to mentor students interested in animal law.
