We have a new animal rights bill in process for Canada. It is a private members bill aimed at modernizing the law.
It is not necessarily welcomed by everyone.

However, it is welcomed by those who are concerned about animals.

It probably doesn't go far enough towards protecting animals, but it would be a good start for a more modern outlook on animal protection. In particular it bans shark finning and the use of dog and cat fur in clothing.
I will keep you posted on how the bill is faring.
