Ontario: Declare Animals and Marine Mammals Sentient Beings
The Issue
Animals and mammals are considered "property" under Ontario law. Animals have as many rights as a table you own when they are classed as "property", meaning, owners face few charges for cruelty and animals and mammals are not recognized as having feelings or being intelligent creatures. Let's change the law and join Quebec in making animals sentient beings!
