News and Reports

A recent RCMP news release warns Canadians about violent online groups that target youth and coerce them to harm themselves, animals, or others. The groups have ties to extremist ideologies and operate on popular gaming and social media platforms. Humane Canada, a national animal welfare organization, is actively working to raise awareness of the violence link, the connection between animal abuse and other forms of violence, to educate youth and to advocate for stronger laws and policies to protect animals and people from harm.
