RCMP have issued a release to warn about the prevalence of online groups that exploit and manipulate young people to hurt themselves and others, including animals. In the release, they share the following warning signs for animal abuse: -Family pets or other animals are being harmed or die suspiciously. -You notice a family pet is uncharacteristically avoiding or fearful of your child or you. These groups are linked to violent extremist movements and use gaming and social media platforms to recruit and influence vulnerable youth. The RCMP ask parents, guardians and adults in positions of authority to keep an eye out for indicators that a child or youth is being targeted or exploited and report the information to Cybertip.ca or your local police. If you believe someone is in immediate danger, please call 9-1-1. Humane Canada works very hard to advocate for stronger protections and to raise awareness about the violence link and the exploitation of children and animal abuse. https://lnkd.in/gWMcpcay

Remember the love we felt for Wilbur in Charlotte’s Web as children? Pigs are intelligent, emotional, and cognitively complex animals who tend to receive an unfair reputation by society and the media. Humane Canada was formed out of a concern for the welfare of animals being slaughtered for food in Canada. We continue to play an important role in farmed animal welfare in Canada, advocating for continual improvements to the standards for farmed animal care that are included in Canada’s codes of practice.

Canada’s housing and affordability crisis is forcing many Canadians to face discriminatory “no pet” clauses when seeking new housing due to rising rents and renovictions. Every day, someone must choose between a home and a beloved pet. It's time to address this issue head-on. Pet-inclusive housing reduces stress and loneliness for tenants, lowers turnover rates for landlords, and enhances social connections in communities. Use your voice to create a more inclusive and compassionate housing system in Canada! Humane Canada has partnered with MP Nathaniel Erskine-Smith and our members nationwide to ensure renters with pets are included in a national Renters' Bill of Rights.
