Quebec Bill would declare animals sentient

[Catherine]

I realize much can go wrong between a bill being introduced and it finally becoming law, but it is a big step that it was introduced.

Quebec is home to many fur farms and puppy mills. This would change everything. Animals would have to be treated well and there are some good fines to back it up. There could even be jail time for offenders.

This is a story to watch. If Quebec can do this then why not other Canadian Provinces. Why not other countries.
What will this mean for how we treat farm animals?
Factory farming violates the whole concept of sentience.

I hope the bill can pass.
