The Canadian Veterinary Medical Association (CVMA) Position Statements on Animal Sentience:

"many species of animals are sentient. All vertebrates, and likely many invertebrate...are sentient in that they can experience feelings... Consequently, the welfare of sentient animals must be considered as part of ethical decision-making; effort must be made to maximize positive experiences and minimize negative experiences." 

"the recognition of animal sentience should be considered within the Canadian legal system under nationally harmonized animal welfare legislation to ensure consistent application and enforcement. This includes developing and applying regulations; protecting animals used for scientific, commercial, consumption, recreational, or personal purposes; and in interacting with wild and feral animals.
