An Animal Bill of Rights in Alberta

An Animal Bill of Rights in Alberta
Why this petition matters
Society's attitude towards animals no longer matches the legal protection offered to them; in addition the scientific community recognizes that animals are sentient - animals think, feel, and suffer, and our laws should reflect that reality.
We the undersigned petition the Legislative Assembly of Alberta as follows: To support and introduce legislation in Alberta for all sentient animals, giving them the rights as outlined in Rose's Law:
1. The right to be free - not owned - or to have a guardian acting in their best interest.
2. The right to not be exploited, abused, or killed by humans.
3. The right to have their interests represented in court and protected by the law.
4. The right to a protected home, habitat, or ecosystem.
5. The right to be rescued from situations of distress and exploitation.
