How to protect animals in the next federal election
Blog
Take action for animals this election – urge your MP to make animal protection a priority.
The next federal election is on the horizon, and while Parliament may be on pause, the work behind the scenes is already underway. Political parties and Members of Parliament (MPs) are shaping their election platforms now, making this the perfect opportunity to put animal protection at the forefront.
Every voter has the power to make a difference for animals. By urging your MP to support our election platform proposals, you can help ensure that animal welfare is a priority for the next government.
Why animal protection should be a priority
Animal protection isn’t just about compassion – it’s about creating a more sustainable, humane and healthier world for all of us. From factory farming to wildlife exploitation, millions of animals suffer needlessly every year. By pushing for stronger animal welfare policies, we can create systemic change that benefits animals, the environment and public health.
We are calling on all political parties to commit to:
- Curbing the illegal and unsustainable legal wildlife trade by funding modern digital detection technology at Canada’s borders.
- Supporting farmers in transitioning to sustainable practices by increasing investment in plant-based proteins, climate-resilient crops and regenerative farming.
- Reducing the overuse of antibiotics in agriculture to combat antimicrobial resistance (AMR) and protect life-saving medicines.
How you can help:
The most impactful action you can take right now is to write to your Member of Parliament. Here’s why it matters:
- Influence political parties’ platforms: MPs and political parties closely monitor the issues voters care about. By contacting your MP, you’re sending a clear message that animal protection matters to their constituents.
- Keep animal welfare on the agenda: Election promises often shape post-election priorities. By urging your MP to commit to animal protection now, you can help ensure it stays on the radar when Parliament resumes.
- Show that animals matter to voters: Politicians listen to voters. When you take the time to write, you’re showing your MP that their stance on animal welfare will influence your vote.
When you act today, you’ll join a growing movement of voters calling for stronger protections for animals. Together, we can build momentum for change and show politicians that animal welfare is a winning issue.
Help us make a difference. Your voice can protect animals and inspire action at the highest levels of government.
