 Restrictive pet and exotic animal legislation is the most serious threat to Canadian aviculture that exists today. Public apathy about it runs a close second. It can happen in your own back yard tomorrow!

This legislation can originate at any level of government so it is a time consuming and expensive task to monitor, influence and keep it at bay. If you keep, breed or sell parrots, or if you are involved in any aspect of the exotic pet industry, the information contained on this page will prove to be critical for the survival of your interest or livelihood. It provides the most comprehensive recap of Canadian restrictive exotic animal legislation issues available anywhere on the Internet. More importantly, it documents what needs to be done to protect your rights and how to go about doing it. Above all, it will teach you that each and every one of us can make a positive contribution to this matter by becoming pro-active.

Don't be just one of "The Silent Majority".
Don't expect others to fight on your behalf without your full support!

Be prepared to protect your rights!
