MPs and animal-welfare groups fear the federal government has put on hold an election promise to bring forward bills designed to alleviate animal suffering, and that they are no longer a priority for Prime Minister Mark Carney.
The Liberals promised to bring forward two animal welfare bills if they won the election: One to ban the export of live horses overseas for slaughter, and a second to outlaw elephants and great apes in zoos and circuses. But neither bill has been introduced since Mr. Carney’s election win.
