Ontario proposes banning painful pet research and breeding for science after puppy heart attack scandal.
Ontario has introduced Bill 75, a first-of-its-kind draft law restricting invasive medical research on dogs and cats, prompted by an investigation revealing heart attacks induced in puppies at a London hospital.
The bill would ban breeding pets for research, prohibit procedures causing significant pain or distress, and end non-essential surgeries like declawing.
It aims to amend the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, with future regulations to define permitted procedures.
While animal welfare groups applaud the move as a major ethical step, experts caution it overlooks other animals capable of suffering, and critics highlight loopholes allowing imported animals from jurisdictions with questionable animal welfare records.
The legislation remains under review.
