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.

CANADA SLAUGHTERS HORSES FOR HUMAN CONSUMPTION
It may be hard for some to believe that tens of thousands of horses, including pets, are routinely slaughtered in Canada, for human consumption.
Some of the meat is consumed in Canada and much of it is shipped to the European Union and other markets, including Japan.
The barbaric slaughter of horses is currently not legal in the United States, BUT horses, including pets and ex-racehorses, from the United States are shipped to Canada and to Mexico to be slaughtered.
In addition Canada allows for the transportation of live horses to Japan, to be slaughtered for human consumption, and unfortunately the transportation of horses destined for slaughter within Canada, and by air, is far from humane.
