A Saskatchewan senator hopes new legislation now before Canada’s Parliament will be the beginning of the end for the practice of putting elephants in captivity in Canada.
Sen. Marty Klyne said it will also offer some of “the strongest legal protection in the world” to great apes, including gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos.
Bill S-15, introduced in the Senate this week, would prohibit new captivity of elephants and great apes, including for breeding, without a licence that shows it is for conservation, science or the animal’s welfare.
“In many ways, these remarkable creatures are very much like us,” Klyne said in the Senate on Thursday as debate began on the bill.
He said they are self-aware, highly intelligent, emotional and social animals who have advanced communication skills.
“Yet in Canada, possession of these creatures does not require a licence or a justifiable purpose,” he said.

Their whole country has turned into a Marxist/Nazi nuthouse and this guy is worried about elephants and apes.
Free-range elephants?
Apes...
Note to Canada’s Deep State: You sure you wanna go there?
Free range homo sapiens!
Flame away- the admins here have not so much as hinted that I’m breaking the rules and most of my “un-conservative” threads end up as discussions where we all learn something new.
I couldn’t agree more, FRiend :-)
The real zoo in Canada is in Vancouver.
That was in no way intended as a flame, Squawk.
Merely a dig at Deep State scientific ignorance.
My bad- you understand that it is dangerous to assume that anyone who disagrees is the enemy. That’s rare on both sides of the border. So I really mean it when I tell you to flame away!
And amorality...
I rarely make assumptions.
And I have no problem with disagreements.
In fact, I relish a good intellectual rhubarb. :-)
What I do have a problem with is evil.
And Deep States, plural, are evil.
Unadulterated, unrepentant evil.
He needs to get his priorities straight!
So do I.
Vancouver was always a zoo by design.
Simply: don’t shoot Trudeau.
Even I’m at the point where I hesitate to assume anything about the “Deep State” but I’m now a Doubting Thomas about that as well.
Even Christianity and Judaism welcome dissent.
The baby seal pup clubbers are worried about animals now?
Bwahahahaha, go make me a new fur coat ya hosers.
“..it will also offer some of “the strongest legal protection in the world” to great apes, including gorillas, chimpanzees, orangutans and bonobos.....”
Sounds like something for downtown Shitcago....LOL
Is this about term limits?
