CALL TO ACTION!
To All O.F.A.H. Members/Supporters: For over ten years, the House of Commons has debated changes to the Criminal Code on Animal Cruelty. The previous government attempted to pass several animal cruelty bills that would have hurt anglers, hunters, trappers, farmers, medical researchers and scientists. Currently, there is a bill in the House of Commons known as Bill S-203 that is at its final stage and will be voted on next Wednesday, (April 9, 2008). If the bill passes, anyone who commits cruelty against animals will face increased fines and penalties, but just as important, the bill does this without hurting anglers, hunters, trappers and others.
The O.F.A.H. has worked with all of the groups named above to pass this bill to protect the interests of our members and all of the outdoor community. The Conservative government is supporting this bill; many Liberal MPs are supporting this bill; even members of the Bloc are supporting this bill but the NDP are not.
Animal rights activists are trying to stop the bill from passing – they want a far more complicated bill that will threaten our ability to hunt and fish.
Before next Wednesday, (April 9, 2008) please use the information in our downloadable letter and the Member of Parliament list to contact your local MP – call them or send an e-mail urging them to support Bill S-203 on behalf of you, one of the people they represent in Parliament.
After ten years, it is time to end this debate and pass legislation that increases the fines and penalties for animal abuse that does not threaten anglers, hunters, farmers and others who are legally involved with animals.
It is critical that after ten years we make sure that this bill is passed or suffer the consequences of a win by animal rights activists who seek to stop hunting and fishing as we know it.
Thank you for your help and support.
