Have your say on animal welfare

From the office of MPP Toby Barrett

To The Haldimand Press

The way Ontario animal welfare law is enforced is changing. Haldimand-Norfolk MPP Toby Barrett is encouraging residents to share their views on how the province can develop a system that is transparent and accountable, and above all, keeps animals safe.

Currently there are temporary measures in place to ensure animals remain protected during the transition to an improved animal protection enforcement system. This follows an effort by the OSPCA to block the government’s efforts earlier this month to empower willing and helpful OSPCA affiliates to minimize gaps while we work towards an improved animal protection system in Ontario.
