Animal welfare law must become an integral part of family law, Anne-France argues, especially in Quebec since the long overdue recognition of animal sentience in 2015. But there is still much work to be done.
Since 2015, municipal governments across the province and even in Quebec's largest cities like Montreal and Longueuil have failed to adopt best practices and policies in line with the reforms. Two of Canada's most promient animal welfare lawyers discuss recent legal progress, as well as offer a behind-the-scenes look into prominent cases involving deer overpopulation and pitbull-type dogs that have made headlines worldwide.
Anne-France's dog Mr. Spot, a pittie mix who became a mascot for dog parents in Montreal, also makes a special appearance.
Featured Guest: Sophie Gaillard, Director of Animal Advocacy and Legal and Government Affairs, SPCA Montreal, on her legal battles, sometimes alongside Anne-France, to encourage municipalities to follow provincial animal welfare laws and consider biodiversity.
Legal Brief: Anne-France outlines some best practices for dog owners, how to manage disputes, and explains how to appeal a "dangerous dog" designation.
