Bill C-84: A Step in the Right Direction
Bill C-841 was introduced by the Liberal government in 2018. Aside from expanding the scope of animal fighting offences, it also sought to finally define bestiality statutorily. As of June 2019, the proposed definition was codified in section 160(7) of the Criminal Code. To adequately grasp the impact of Bill C-84, regard must be had to the history of bestiality in Canada.
