Justice for Jake - Animal Cruelty Law Reform Required

The Issue

DOG KILLED – PETERBOROUGH ONTARIO: Reform to Canadian Animal Cruelty Laws Federally (Sections 444 to 447 of the Criminal Code of Canada) and Provincially are Required!!!- We should follow suit with what the US is now doing, charging it as a felony crime.

On Sunday April 12th, 2015, Jake, a 3 year old Chocolate Labrador Retriever who was with his family on their large property playing with the kids as his pet parents were chopping wood. At noon, Jake went missing. Hours later Jake was found in a 25 foot ditch at the side of the road off Eleventh Line Road in Douro-Dummer Township in a gravel pit, several kilometres from their home, without his collar on. He had been shot in the back of his head, at point blank range. Jake leaves behind a grieving family, including 3 young daughters. We hope his murderer is brought to justice. If you have any information please contact the OPP or do so anonymously through Crime Stoppers. Please sign and share to increase exposure..

Looking for a private member's bill to be passed, alongside with the OSPCA, to act and present a Bill to be reviewed at Parliament

News Story and Hear From the Family or Find Your Local MPP and ask them to petition for a motion to change the laws in Ontario and ultimately Canada - read the Animal Alliance of Canada's overview of the regulations here

Canada gets a "D" rating for animal welfare around the world Animal Protection Global Index - whereas in the US All 50 States have enacted felony penalties for malicious cruelty and the FBI to start tracking animal cruelty cases

we can do better
