Saskatchewan is beefing up its animal protection law following a high profile abuse case.
The proposed changes will help reduce the number of animal neglect cases, said Agriculture Minister Bob Bjornerud.
The proposed amendments include increasing jail time to a maximum of two years and raising fines to $25,000 for each convicted offence.
In June, two men from Outlook pleaded guilty in what a judge called the worst case of animal neglect in Saskatchewan history.
