Support the Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare

UDAW campaign reaches critical milestone

Since 2007, WSPA Canada has been working tirelessly to convince the Canadian government to support our campaign to achieve a Universal Declaration on Animal Welfare (UDAW). In a landmark decision on November 6, MPs from all four political parties unanimously adopted a motion which calls on the Canadian government to support (in principal) the development of a UDAW.

The motion was put forward by Liberal MP Michelle Simson (Scarborough Southwest) and seconded by NDP MP Bill Siksay (Burnaby Douglas) and the Hon. Marlene Jennings (Notre-Dame-de-Grâce—Lachine). This makes Canada a leader - we are the first North American country to express support for a UDAW - and it means that Canada is one giant step closer to fully endorsing the campaign.
