Quebec Adopts New Animal Law
"The National Assembly unanimously adopted...Bill 54 on animal protection, a law that redefines the animal as 'sentient'. Agriculture Minister Pierre Paradis hopes the new law helps Quebec move from being one of the more lax jurisdictions in North America in terms of rules on animal welfare to one of the most strict...Earlier this year, Paradis said he was inspired by Manitoba, Ontario, & B.C., which have the strictest laws for animal protection in the country. The bill stated that animals are not 'goods' but 'sentiment beings' who 'have biological imperatives'."
