Mr. Speaker, pursuant to Standing Order 36, I would like to present a petition signed by 190 constituents who are very concerned about the violation of animals rights.
Animals are treated cruelly and often left abandoned during relief efforts and emergency planning, despite the fact that it has been scientifically proven that animals can feel pain and suffering.
Over one billion people around the world rely upon animals for their livelihoods, millions of others for their companionship.
As a result, the petitioners urge the Government of Canada to support a universal declaration on animal welfare.
