OTTAWA, Dec 3, (LSN) – While allowing abortion on demand, and less than two year penalties for “mercy” killing and pedophiliac rape, Canadian federal Justice Minister Anne McLellan says she’s prepared to toughen laws against abuse of animals. Justice department briefing notes revealed plans to increase the maximum sentence for cruelty to animals to five years.

McLellan stated in a recent interview with the Ottawa Citizen, “I cannot imagine someone being cruel to a dog or a cat. For the sake of what? And I think we should deal with these people very harshly. We need to condemn this conduct, and I have no problem saying that right up front.”“I cannot understand the mentality of an individual who would take advantage of another living being or thing that cannot defend itself.”
