Ian Somerhalder Wants BC Animal Welfare Laws Updated

Cruelty to animals bites.
That’s why Vampire Diaries actor Ian Somerhalder is doing his best to put his teeth into those who abuse them through a new campaign at Change.org.
The campaign was created by Somerhalder’s foundation, the Ian Somerhalder Foundation, which the actor founded to draw awareness to environmental and animal issues. It seeks to reform The Prevention of Cruelty to Animal Act in British Columbia, some parts of which have not been revised in 100 years.
The ancient laws provide no regulation for businesses that work with animals. It was a recently infamous incident involving an employee that helped shoot and kill 100 sled dogs because tourism was slow that motivated Somerhalder.
