Yvonne Russell, President of Paw Tipsters in Manitoba, is looking for more than 50,000 Canadians to sign a petition that has been approved by The House of Commons. The petition’s goal is to have Canada’s first Animal Abuse Registry System. According to Yvonne, this Animal Abuse Registry would prevent abusers from obtaining animals through adoption and breeders. “The more signatures we have shows the support standing behind our petition” explained Russell. This petition is to be presented to the MP at the House of Commons in the early fall.
Yvonne is aware of the cruelty that animals endure and that many Canadians ignore. In Manitoba, she has created Paw Tipsters. Paw Tipsters is a non-profit registered charitable organization where individuals call in and report tips of animal abuse to Winnipeg Crime Stoppers. If the information given to the authorities is founded a cash reward will be awarded. “The funds behind these tips come from money that is donated to Paw Tipsters, as well as money that we fundraise. Paw Tipsters also takes these funds to help out local rescue groups with necessities they need such as, food, toys, beds etc ”
