Thanks for your help in arranging a Petition to the House of Commons on animal transportation.

This petition, when signed by 25 (or more) citizens or residents of Canada, may be read into the House of Commons by a Member of Parliament, thus drawing attention to the need for revision of Canada’s outdated animal transportation standards.

 

The procedure is easy. Download and print three copies of the petition. Ask at least 25 people to sign the petition, and to print their name and address. The address may consist of the person’s full address, or only the city and province. Either is acceptable. It is a good idea to get more than 25 names in case one or more names is disqualified when the petitions are certified.

 

Start a new page once the spaces are filled, so you will need three pages for 25 or more names. Do not get signatures on the back of petitions, as they will be disqualified.

 

To be certified, a petition must have no erasures or alterations to the text, including crossing out or adding words or commentary.

 

When you have obtained at least 25 signatures, send us the completed petitions. The address is on the bottom of the petition. We will ask a Member of Parliament (MP) to read it into the House of Commons.

 

Thanks again for your help in bringing attention to the need for improved animal transportation standards!
