Mr. Speaker, again there are thousands of people from Kamloops who are concerned about cruelty to animals. They are really upset that people who are cruel to animals seem to never get what they consider a decent sentence. They figure judges are too soft on people who are mean to animals. They point out a whole number of specific examples of this that are just quite pathetic. They are asking the government to take this issue more seriously.
In the House of Commons on November 25th, 1998. See this statement in context.
