A Note from CHDC

 

Fellow Horse Advocates,

 

Bill C-544, a Bill to ban horse slaughter in Canada, was introduced in June.  To help ensure its success, our MPs need to know that their constituents support this bill.  Gathering signatures on the attached petition is the best way to achieve this.  Below are the English and French versions of a petition that has been approved by the Clerk of Petitions. 

 
                           ENGLISH PETITION            FRENCH PETITION 

 

 

(French petition instructions can be found here: http://www2.parl.gc.ca/marleaumontpetit/DocumentViewer.aspx?Sec=Ch22&Seq=3&Lang=F )

 

(English can be found here: http://www2.parl.gc.ca/marleaumontpetit/DocumentViewer.aspx?Sec=Ch22&Seq=3&Lang=E )

 

PLEASE USE THESE APPROVED VERSIONS ONLY!

 
 

Note: ONLINE PETITIONS ARE NOT ACCEPTED BY PARLIAMENT.

 

 

 

Here are some suggested ways to gather signatures (leave blank ones too for people to take and use)

 

    a) have a yard sale and gather signatures there

    b) at your local pet food store

    c) your small pet vet's office

    d) corner variety store

    e) tack stores

    f) set up a table at local horse shows

    g) go door to door in your neighbourhood

    h) forward this message to your contacts

 

Let us know your suggestions and we'll post them on our next update!

 

The message to our MPs should be specific to Bill C-544.  This summer is our key opportunity to reach out to our Members of Parliament while Parliament is in recess.  Our target date to have petitions delivered to our MPs is September 20, 2010.  It is important that citizens sign petitions corresponding to the riding they live in, so if your community covers more than one constituency, make sure to offer a choice of several petitions with the riding/MP name at the top of each front page.  Collect as many names as you can.

 

Please do this for the horses!
