Britain has a better system of laws. They come from a central governing body and they can be applied equally across the country.
Having states with individual laws means fighting for animal protection laws fifty different times. There is no guarantee that they will be applied equally. In one state you can be executed for a crime and in another it means a jail sentence and parole. How is that fair or just.
In Canada different aspects of animal protection would be handled at different levels of government. I think there are problems with this system. It is too easy for the different government levels to duck their responsibility or let someone else do it. Federal law should over ride the other levels, but there are jurisdictional issues. Then if someone makes a challenge on the basis of the Charter of Rights and Freedoms anything can happen.
And now we know why abusers keep on owning animals.
