Dog; Cat; European rabbit; Horse(includes donkey & mule); Llama; Alpaca; Cattle; Sheep; Goat; Swine; Chicken; Domestic duck; Domestic goose; Domestic turkey; Pigeon; Pheasant; Quail; Hamster; Gerbil; Guinea pig; Domestic ferret; Domestic mouse; Domestic rat Someone on the forum left this number. to voice your opinion, and to people who say online petitions are ineffective... they may very well be, but to someone who loves a pet that is'nt on the list, I'm sure they will do all they can to keep their pet! so please no more posts of "this is ineffective" Please refer to this link for more info http://www.edmontonreptiles.com/forum/showthread.php?p=16222 Here is the message and the number: This all said, I STRONGLY recommend you either collectively or individually voice your concerns to PJAC and president Paul McGrath at 604-574-8935. This is a powerful organization that represents and protects the interests of the pet industry across Canada. Kimberly, (and anyone else not in BC) Though i have not researched any other pet bans being pushed at the moment, IF this is passed by the BC SPCA, then like it did in the US, I'm positive it will spread across Canada. The US has extensive laws on "exotic" animals. (and according to the BC SPCA all the animals not on the list, are "EXOTIC" so please, even if you are not in BC, it only takes a moment to sign the petition, and this may end up saving your ability to keep your "not on the list pet" no matter what province you live in. If this is passed its only a matter of time the ban will spread across Canada!
