There's a big debate out there as to what constitutes inhumane handling and what is accepted husbandry practices. I know there are lots of “gotcha” films out there and so on. Having said that, no one has a toleration for animal mistreatment. There are different levels of that. That's why there's a graduated scale. CFIA has the powers, if they're on site. I know a lot of this is provincially regulated and CFIA is not even there, but at the end of the day, they have the ability now to work with the SPCAs, with the provincially regulated bodies, and so on, in order to come forward with charges, should they be warranted.
