Animal Protection

The Manitoba government’s Animal Welfare section under the direction of the Provincial Veterinarian - Animal Welfare (PV-AW) is responsible for enforcing The Animal Care Act, Manitoba’s animal welfare legislation.

If you suspect any animal is:

- lacking adequate food and water

- exposed to extreme cold or heat

- not provided with suitable medical attention if wounded or ill

- confined in an area of insufficient space

- kept in unsanitary conditions

- confined without adequate ventilation

- not allowed an opportunity for sufficient exercise

- suffering, seriously injured or in extreme anxiety or distress

Please notify authorities.
