Position Statements

As Canada's Federation of SPCAs and Humane Societies, our mission is to end animal cruelty, improve animal protection, and promote the Humane treatment of animals across our nation.

What would a Humane Canada look like?

These are the 7 indicators of a humane country:

  • Legal: Accountability in the law when animals are harmed

  • Representation: Animals' interests are factored into decisions that impact them

  • Consideration: We consider animals a part of our community, not commodities

  • Social: The human/ animal bond is recognized as key to healthy communities

  • Compassion: Compassion for animals is a core value in our society

  • Evidence: Animal welfare policy is informed by science and evidence

  • Responsibility: The general public is more accountable and compassionate
