An Animal Bill of Rights in Saskatchewan

The Issue

Society’s attitudes towards all 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 Saskatchewan as follows: To support and introduce legislation in Saskatchewan for all sentient animals, giving them the rights as outlined in Rose's Law: Animal Bill of Rights:

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.
