安大略建议禁止在小狗心脏病发作后 进行痛苦的宠物研究和科学繁殖
Ontario proposes banning painful pet research and breeding for science after puppy heart attack scandal.
安大略已提出第75号法案,这是限制对狗和猫进行侵入性医学研究的首份法律草案,该法案是在一项调查的推动下提出的,调查揭示了在伦敦一家医院小狗引起的心脏病发作。
Ontario has introduced Bill 75, a first-of-its-kind draft law restricting invasive medical research on dogs and cats, prompted by an investigation revealing heart attacks induced in puppies at a London hospital.
该法案将禁止养宠物用于研究,禁止造成重大疼痛或痛苦的程序,并终止非必要的外科手术,如戒毒手术。
The bill would ban breeding pets for research, prohibit procedures causing significant pain or distress, and end non-essential surgeries like declawing.
它旨在修订《省级动物福利服务法》,并在今后制定条例,以界定允许的程序。
It aims to amend the Provincial Animal Welfare Services Act, with future regulations to define permitted procedures.
虽然动物福利团体赞美这项举动, 认为这是一个重大的道德步骤, 但专家提醒大家不要忽视其他可能受苦的动物, 批评者则强调漏洞, 允许来自动物福利记录可疑的管辖区的动物入境。
While animal welfare groups applaud the move as a major ethical step, experts caution it overlooks other animals capable of suffering, and critics highlight loopholes allowing imported animals from jurisdictions with questionable animal welfare records.
该立法仍在审查之中。
