The Canadian Federation of Humane Societies applauds the B.C. government’s plan to increase penalties for people convicted of animal abuse under provincial law, and to ask the federal government to strengthen animal cruelty provisions in the Criminal Code.

The government announced April 5th that it will increase maximum penalties in the B.C. Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act from the current 6-month jail sentence and $10,000 fine to a maximum 2-year jail sentence and $75,000 fine.
