I ask you to think of all the animals that have been starved to death, burned in microwaves, beaten, bound and dragged behind cars. They need a law that will protect them from such heinous acts of cruelty. Please, don%u2019t sweep this under the rug any more. Bill S-203 was not the answer. There is no point increasing penalties when so many serious abusers can%u2019t even be prosecuted, let alone convicted. Parliament must stop playing politics with puppies!
