Honorable Rosann Wowchuk
Minister of Agriculture, Food and Rural Initiatives;

Animal cruelty has been an issue in the Press lately following the 
rescue of  nearly 100 puppies and dogs in Warren, Manitoba.

My wife and I are writing to inquire what measures are currently in 
place to protect helpless animals that have been neglected by their owners.

I believe it's important for the Province of Manitoba to take 
appropriate measures to prevent animal cruelty and get tough on those 
who disregard the well-being of their animals.

I look forward to your response on this very pressing and important issue.

Sincerely,

Mathieu Allard and Joelle Saltel-Allard
