"Thank you everyone for your involvement and support with opposing the proposed specialty pet bylaw. We have some good news to report. Winnipeg Animal Services will not be making by-law recommendations pertaining to birds and other specialty pets to City Council in December. Instead, Winnipeg Animal Services will be appealing for a significant time extension to keep working with local stakeholder groups in the development of future recommendations. We support this move, as it means that this complex issue will not be rushed and there will be more time given to addressing the concerns of Winnipeg’s avian community.  Please continue to keep this By-Law in your thoughts and make sure to have meaningful conversations with fellow Specialty Pet owners about future changes."
