Position statement
CFHS is opposed to the trade or keeping of wild or exotic animals as pets.
Definitions
A wild or exotic animal is any animal, native or non-native to Canada, that has not been subject to domestication through many generations of selective and controlled breeding and thereby adapted to living in close association with humans.
According to the documents on the website it's already illegal to drag dogs behind a car.
Maybe the authorities should be more diligent with their investigations and they'd win more. Passing rules just for the sake of having more of the same rules makes little sense to me.
