It is a loong time overdue to change the laws and regulations to protect domestic &farm animals. It's HORRIFIC,inhumane, and Barbaric to have suffering,and neglect of these poor creatures that share the earth with US. Stiffer penalties and more monotoring of conditions where all the animals are kept. Change the laws UPDATE and recognition of what is going on. No more turning away from this issue.Face it -change the laws. People who are cruel to animals ,are cruel to mankind also. Lenora Jennings

Thank you. This has been such a ,long, hard, and often lonely fight to get this information out to the public who want 'denial' for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. There are so many of us who are trying to create change in one area or another for animals. finally, we can stand strong together and say, yes I sure do believe in the rights of animals. I am so glad to be on the 'right' side after watching your show. I sure would hate to be on the other side. Please, help us by continuing to lead so those of us who care have someone to follow and to support the work we do everyday.

This episode was a real eye opener. I have always held animals in the highest regard, and always felt that they should be treated humanely. Be it cat, dog, rat, cow, pig, it DOES NOT MATTER; they all have feelings, they all deserve the BEST life possible. It makes me SICK, and disgusted to know that Canada is so OUT DATED in their animal protection laws. I have always been so proud to be Canadian, but after seeing how lax our laws are and how slow we are to react it makes me ashamed. Other countries are making it work, we have NO excuse. ALL animals deserve to be treated with respect, care and love. Canada, get off your ass and make the change, so I can again be proud to be Canadian.

Infant male circumcision is still legal in Canada. Work on that first. You can't circumcise women in Canada. That's not equality.

Thank you, thank you, thank you for airing this programme. I hope that it was watched by many Canadians and it was not just preaching to the converted. You are right, the message must be got to the consumer. It is appalling that animals are treated this way, whether they be for food consumption or as companion animals. I could be wrong, but I believe that BC has made some strides recently in prosecuting people for the mistreatment of animals, but this does not go far enough. It is the animals that are raised for food that get the worst treatment. Imagine being locked in a box with no fresh air and no water for 52 hours. I wonder if anyone who has anything to do with this regulation has ever thought about how it would feel. I applaud those brave people who go undercover to bring to our attention what goes on behind closed doors. If I were younger and in better health I would join them. I can only send them money to help defray some of the costs. I do not buy meat, although I do buy eggs from free-range organically grown hens, which cost a bit more than the supermarket eggs. Food is so cheap in Canada because of the misuse of animals. It is no wonder that we are becoming a nation of obese people. With food so plentiful and cheap, we eat too much. How much better for everyone if the animals were treated more humanely and the price we pay was substantially greater. It would be a win-win situation all round. The animals would be happier and we would be leaner. Thank you again for bringing the plight of farm animals, as well as the puppies in puppy mills, to the attention of Canadians.

Re: No Country for Animals 1) Awareness needs to take place before 2) Reaction can happen. And then 3) Information provided as to who we can (or should) contact in order to voice our opinion. 4) And for many individuals, a petition or a form letter, which they could just sign, would work best. And create therefore, more voices getting heard. And personally, I'd love to see Tee Shirts being sold (at a very reasonable price) so that all who care can (through the buying of those shirts): 1) Donate and support such animal rights groups: 2) Plus--create more awareness and concern for all animals to have rights: and the protection of those rights. I believe that many city dwellers are simply ignorance of the facts that your piece exposed: and that there is just simply a blind trust that our gov't regulators: and vets: and the Spca: and even other farmers--would ensure that the animals are getting properly treated. Your film (plus the above clip) erased all those --and hopefully, if enough individuals voice their opinions on this subject, Canadian politicans will act upon this issue. Meanwhile, I hope you'll continue to keep the focus on the issue.

BRAVO !! While difficult to watch, I applaud your exposure on people who bring such cruelty to the lives of animals, who do absolutely nothing to incur our wrath. It's programs like yours that will eventually get us all to change our laws and eating habits.

Thank you for airing this documentary.It makes me sick every times I see animals suffering and also enrages me to know that Canada is so far behind in the treatment of farm animals.And Quebec with their puppy mills ,it's horrible.We like to think we are a civilised society but when it comes to the way we treat animals we are barberic.Animals have rights,and I also believe they are intelligent.They have feelings and suffer just like us.And they were not created for us.
