<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>Dear (your M.P______)</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>As a believer in the principle that all
animals deserve to be protected from </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>cruelty and abuse I urge you to help
pass proposed new legislation that<BR>will update and strengthen the animal
cruelty provisions of the Criminal<BR>Code of Canada.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman"><BR></FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"
size=3>The Ontario Humane Society (OHS) is applauding Bill C-373
that </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>will protect wildlife and strays from
cruelty and abuse - an<BR>important addition as the current law does not
adequately protect these<BR>animals. Ontario MP Mark Holland's proposal removes
animal cruelty crimes<BR>from the property section of the Criminal Code, and
will make it easier to<BR>prosecute animal abusers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>The horrific 'Kensington cat
case' from Toronto in which a stray cat that was tortured</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>and mutilated and the almost total lack
of repercussion for the pertpertrators of this crime </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>shows that Canada's laws to protect
stray/wild animals are shameful at present. This Bill is</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">also needed since stray or
wild animals do not suffer or feel </FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman">pain any
less than domesticated </FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=3><FONT face="Times New Roman">or owned
animals. </FONT><FONT face="Times New Roman"> </FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman">For the above reasons, I urge you to </FONT><FONT
face="Times New Roman">help pass this Bill into the House</FONT></FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face="Times New Roman" size=3>of Commons.</FONT></DIV>
