She adds, "including animals getting tangled in fencing, running onto roads, birds flying into trees or buildings and baby animals being abandoned.”

Great day this week in Toronto w Minister @JonathanWNV & MP @juliedabrusin announcing Canada’s leadership in ending our #sharkfin trade AND a legislative ban to shark finning in Canada 🇨🇦 @HSI_Canada @HSIGlobal

@bowden2you @HSI_Canada @JonathanWNV @juliedabrusin @kristynwongtam @SenMacDonald @teamsharkwater @OceanaCAN Studies show they contain high levels of neurotoxins like mercury and BMAA - which can contribute to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s or ALS. Another reason why this legislation is so critical 🙌

[Julie MacInnes @JulieMacInnes1]

Honoured to have been at the press conference today with @JonathanWNV @juliedabrusin @kristynwongtam @SenMacDonald @teamsharkwater @OceanaCAN. Amazing day for shark protection 🦈🙌

[Humane World for Animals Canada @humaneworldcan]

We were thrilled to have a press conference with the government today. We celebrated the passage of #BillC68, which bans the import & export of shark fins! 🦈 The tides are turning for shark protection. See details here: https://t.co/qJ9q4Layjr

[Julie MacInnes @JulieMacInnes1]

Look what you set in motion @beynate ✊❤️ Thanks for all the incredible work that you do!

[Nate Erskine-Smith @beynate]

Early efforts to modernize our animal protection laws through Bill C-246 have made a real difference, and helped lead to government action.

I will continue stand up for animals as long as I'm in Ottawa.

WE ARE THE FIRST country 🇨🇦 in the world to ban the import and export of shark fins! Major thx to leaders @JonathanWNV, @SenMacDonald, @FinDonnelly, @beynate, @ElizabethMay, & many more who made this possible🦈 #cdnpoli #SaveSharks #billc68

[Hon. Wilfred Moore @SenWillyMoore]

Thank you to Gov’t Representative @SenHarder for his help in passing our whale captivity bill. Peter was an unsung hero - his amendments to Bill C-68 saved #S203 from further obstruction, paving the way for a final vote. Thank you also to Minister @JonathanWNV #cdnpoli #senca

[Julie MacInnes @JulieMacInnes1]

Whales and dolphins don’t belong in tanks. Thanks to the the sponsors of this bill and the Cdn gov for showing strong leadership in responding to public will and sound science on this critical issue. 🐬 @livekindlyjill @livekindlylaura https://t.co/dAIyJmDXsx

[Julie MacInnes @JulieMacInnes1]

@SenSincmurr You mean MAJOR ROLE? 🙌🐬

[Julie MacInnes @JulieMacInnes1]

HISTORIC! Yesterday, Canada passed the ‘FREE WILLY’ Bill and banned the cruel captivity of whales, dolphins, and porpoises.🐬 Major thanks to Parliamentarians @ElizabethMay @SenWillyMoore @SenSincmurr & all our coalition partners! 🙌

[Graham Saul @GrahamSaul]

Good to see Senate and @FishOceansCAN working to get action on shark finning and whale captivity into legislation
@JonathanWNV @SenMacDonald @SenHarder Let's get it done.

After years of legal wrangling, Ottawa moves to ban shark fin imports. https://t.co/DoZIXAKRcR #cdnpoli #SenCA @HSI_Canada @oceana

[Julie MacInnes @JulieMacInnes1]

BREAKING! The Cdn gov’t has introduced amendments to the Fisheries Act, through Bill C-68, which would include BOTH a shark fin import and export prohibition, and a ban on the captivity of whales and dolphins. This could be a GAME CHANGER! 🦈🐋 Thx @liberal_party!

[Elizabeth May @ElizabethMay]

We need to pass Bill #S203 unamended ASAP.

The premise is simple - keeping whales and dolphins in captivity is cruel because of their intelligence, emotions, sociability and roaming lifestyles.

Children understand this, it is time politicians did the same. #cndpoli
