Dear [Decision Maker],

I would like to thank you for your part in increasing the penalties for infractions under Canada's animal transport regulations, but more action is needed to protect the welfare of farm animals in transport.

Canada's current animal transport regulations are decades-old and inadequate by modern standards. I am greatly concerned by the lack of minimum loading densities, the weak definitions for unfit animals and the extremely long transport times that are allowed in the current regulations.

In addition to stronger regulations, better inspection and enforcement activities are urgently needed to protect these animals.

Accordingly, I would like to voice my support for the BC SPCA's Report to the CFIA on the Proposed Amendments to the Transportation of Animals Regulations.

Sincerely,
[Your name]
