E-petition
Initiated by Philippe Desjardins from Laval, Quebec
Original language of petition: French
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament Assembled
Whereas:
- Section 445 of the Criminal Code stipulates that every one commits an offence who causes an animal unnecessary pain;
- The scientific community recognizes that fish and individuals that are victims of fish farming have the ability to feel and are sentient;
- The scientific community recognizes that fish and individuals that are victims of fish farming can feel pain; and
- A diet without animal products is recognized by the Dietitians of Canada as a viable option for humans at every stage of development.
We, the undersigned, citizens of Quebec, call upon the House of Commons in Parliament assembled to recognize that there is no reason to justify inflicting pain on members of the aquatic fauna through fish farming activities.
