This is why I hunt for my own meat, to many people eat meat from these type of farms and this will never change until we hit them in their wallets.

I wonder who squealed?

And here I thought this was going to be another Monsanto patent infringement story.

Hit animal abusers where it really hurts - the wallet. The Animal Care Amendment Act, passed by Manitoba in 2010, gave the law some teeth when it comes to dealing with animal abusers. Sadly, regulations in other provinces are far weaker.

Since Harper is building all these new, shiny prisons, let's give animal abusers an all inclusive stay! Animal abuse - no matter the type of animal - should be punished under the Criminal Code of Canada. As a country, we have not significantly altered federal legislation concerning cruelty to animals since 1892! That's right.....1892.

Our law still views animals as property. The Whistler sled dog "cull" (massacre) demonstrates the logical extension of this view. Until there is a fundamental shift in the way the law views our relationship to non-human beings, some people will still exact cruelty, disrespect, and neglect on animals in their supposed care.

One solution is to give animals some form of legal standing in Canada, so that they too can have their day in court.

I lived in Chicago for twelve years ... am sure I can find someone to help him find the right path.

Really.

"hundreds of dead pigs and carcasses and more than 100 animals that had to be euthanized."

And you call a $60,000 fine, "massive"? That's chump change. It's amazing how a person can abuse and kill hundreds of animals and get off with a slap on the wrist, yet, if he took the life of only one single person, he'd get a life sentence.
