IFAW: This Election, Canadians Want Action on Animal Issues
(firmenpresse) - OTTAWA, ONTARIO -- (Marketwired) -- 09/16/15 -- The International Fund for Animal Welfare released the results of a survey today showing that animal issues will affect how the majority of Canadians cast their ballot on October 19th. It also shows near unanimous support for improving protection for both endangered species and domestic animals.
"The Government of Canada has been failing animals across the board, and Canadians know it," said Sheryl Fink, Director of Wildlife Programs for IFAW Canada. "The question is, how will the new government elected on October 19th meet the demands being made by Canadians, and stand up for animals? Canadians want a government that will take direct action to protect endangered species. We need revisions to the criminal code to make it easier to convict on animal cruelty charges. And there is tremendous support for ending financial support to continue the commercial seal hunt. We should instead support a license buyout or some other measure that helps transition the few remaining sealers out of this unnecessary industry."
IFAW is actively campaigning to ensure that animal-friendly candidates are elected to Parliament. One way Canadians can get involved is to visit to find out which federal election candidate in their riding has committed to
The survey asked Canadians a variety of questions related to federal jurisdiction over animals. It found that Canadians want to see change in how the government deals with animal issues.
Results of the Survey:
The survey was conducted June 3-18, 2015, by Environics Research Group via telephone as part of a national omnibus poll with 2,003 Canadians aged 18 and over. It is accurate plus or minus 2.2 percentage points 19 times out of 20.
