Pets OK BC

Advocating for a more humane and healthy society, in which animal companionship is respected as a basic civil right.

"...would like to stay in the local area that has become home, but with rents having risen dramatically, there is nothing they can afford. However, to compound Grim's financial difficulties, there is now the social, emotional and psychological jeopardy of the 'No Pet' clause."

My column this week on #pets, #housing & #homelessness. The No Pet clause inhumane to loving owners and animals. @ICHH @petethevet @IrishPresident @knightsatire https://t.co/bBIfsl0CtP

@coeurvids Yes it's a sad reality that has a rather simple solution. Instead our housing policy caters to landlords' irrational fears and their insistence on controlling tenants' lives. Meanwhile people & animals go homeless, or forcibly separated from their loved ones. @selinarobinson 🙉

@PetsOkBC I live in a pet-friendly apartment building in Victoria and have room for a senior female with a cat or dog effective November 10 in James Bay area.

@JenStDen @starvancouver Standing ovation for all your exemplary reporting!

@JaneSeyd @BowinnMa I have to say @BowinnMa has done more as an MLA than anyone since I moved to BC. I am not a big fan of supporting a party blindly but the @bcndp have lived up to their promises in an unheard of fashion.
Please focus on pets in rentals next @PetsOkBC is leading on this issue!

@inferavirino @AesaradeLucania @VanCityClerk @kennedystewart @PtFry @DailyHiveVan Yes exactly. @AesaradeLucania's inference that other workplaces should disallow (non-human) animals because they aren't appropriate at hers, is what is really self-centered here. But I guess me saying the preferences at one random work establishment is none of my biz = snotty 🤷‍♂️

I see no reason this can't work in Vancouver. @VanCityClerk 👀 @kennedystewart 👀 @PtFry 👀

Alive animals as Keychain!? This is so wrong in every way!

@kwardvancouver @cococulbertson @sarahblyth @PetsOkBC @selinarobinson @PHScss @hogans_alley @YVRTenantsUnion @pivotlegal @CMHABC @bccla @kennedystewart @christineeboyle Curious what the criteria will be for judging what pets are allowed or not. Especially when pets can be soooo supportive to healing and decreasing isolation. Not to mention that for many, pets are the (sometimes only) family!

@yvr000 @leanne_mclaren @CityofVancouver GTFO with this nonsense. Oh allergies, never heard that excuse before. You know what species has the worst carbon footprint on Earth? Humans. It's not even close. Meanwhile animals suffer, children grow up without empathy and seniors die lonely. You happy?

@mtnbvan @PetsOkBC @CityofVancouver @ahvancouver @OneCityVan @COPEVancouver @YVRTenantsUnion @kennedystewart @PtFry @JeanSwanson_ @rebeccaleebligh These tenants are exactly those folks.... Wokers in social service, child care, retail, teaching, artists and retirees on GIS. Seems impossible that Tenant Relocation Plan could find them units with rents remotely within their budgets. Let alone pet-friendly.

Exotic pets are NOT ok. https://t.co/cp5VrARl1B #exoticpets #otters

@CityofVancouver considering this development application which would reduce units of housing from 11 to 3, inc removing 2 suites to build parking. Seniors & low income folks, almost all w/ pets. @PetsOkBC @ahvancouver @OneCityVan @COPEVancouver @YVRTenantsUnion #VanRE #vanpoli

@Liz_Blackwood @CityofVancouver @ahvancouver @OneCityVan @COPEVancouver @YVRTenantsUnion This is atrocious. Please Mayor and Council REJECT this dev app! @kennedystewart @PtFry @JeanSwanson_ @rebeccaleebligh

@katrinamay_ @CityofVancouver Condos? Rentals? Affordable? Pet and family friendly? How many 1BR? 40% of Vancouver households are single-person. This is by design. 1BR are the most profitable. Also contributes to loneliness in our city.

@msgalfriday Keep a candle lit for all the breeds targeted as aggressive and needlessly destroyed.
