Bill C-468 was introduced on Wednesday, October 28, 2009. It would decrease maximum transport times for farm animals to be in line with those of other industrialized nations.
Currently, Canada's legislation allows animals such as pigs, chickens and horses to be transported for up to 36 hours with no food, water or rest break. Animals like cattle, sheep and goats may be transported up to 52 hours without food, water or a break and may be left for a staggering 81 hours without food.
