An Important Message About Bill C-10B: Wednesday, September 3, 2003 The recent rescues of 10 horses and 60 cats by the Hamilton\Burlington SPCA are just two of many reasons why Bill C-10B, Amendments to the Animal Cruelty Provisions of the Criminal Code must be passed into law. With the fall session of Parliament only weeks away, Members of Parliament and Senators must be reminded of Bill C-10B, and the support this legislation has received from hundreds of thousands of Canadians from all walks of life. The amendments will provide tougher penalties for those convicted of willful and unnecessary animal cruelty or neglect, including the ability to ban offenders from owning animals in the future. The establishment of animal cruelty crimes as hybrid offences, rather than punishable only as summary conviction offences, provides judges with broader sentencing discretion. This change, along with moving animal cruelty offences out of the property crimes section of the Criminal Code and into a new section, signals a new level of importance for these crimes.
