The Manitoba government has introduced amendments to the Animal Care Act
Agriculture Minister Derek Johnson says the amendments would streamline and enhance the process for appeals brought before the Animal Care Appeal Board.
“Everyone benefits when the well-being of animals is respected,” said Johnson. “The ethically sound treatment of animals is a priority for citizens and society as a whole, is good business practice and is an essential part of modern agriculture. These amendments align with our government’s commitment to protect the welfare of animals and to enforce compliance with an acceptable standard for their care.”
