You also touched on the wording of Bill C-35. In a sense, by saying without a “reasonable excuse”, doesn't that add to the argument, at that point in time, that those unforeseen or unforeseeable reasonable cases that could arise from a specific situation then would be corrected by the fact that it wouldn't fall in Bill C-35?
As well, why exclude, from the mandatory minimum sentence, the other type of animals that are included in the infraction? Are you making different classes of dogs and horses?
