Valérie Plante promises not to discriminate against animals by their race

by Lorraine Carpenter

A cheeky nod to Denis Coderre’s 2016 pit bull ban.

As part of Projet Montréal’s “animal-friendly administration,” Valérie Plante has announced a new regulation that protects animals without discrimination on the basis of race.

Projet Montréal will also maintain its ban on horse-drawn carriages in Montreal, as well as existing programs on education and sterilization.

The section on animals in Projet Montréal’s 2021 platform includes the following four points.

  • Continue to apply a scientific and measured approach to animal case management;
  • Create new parks and dog-walking trails with a focus on underserved areas of the city;
  • Ensure that Trap-Neuter-Release-Maintain programs are offered in all boroughs, and improve access to them;
  • Offer animal services at various service points that are easily accessible via public transportation.
