Last December, the STM <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/en\/dogs-will-definitively-be-allowed-on-the-metro-in-montreal\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">officially authorized dogs to ride in the metro<\/a>, much to the relief of Montreal families living with dogs.<\/p><p>\u201cHowever, access to the metro solves only part of the problem,\u201d states Sophie Gaillard, Director of Animal Advocacy and Legal and Government Affairs at the Montreal SPCA. \u201cGiven that a significant proportion of the Montreal population lives a good distance from a metro station, it is imperative that dogs be granted access to the STM bus network.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>A win for everyone<\/strong><\/p><p>Banning dogs from buses restricts their access not only to large parks and green spaces, but also to veterinary care, which could compromise their health and welfare. This disproportionately affects low-income earners, and hinders individuals in need\u2019s access to community programs that could benefit their animal, such as the Montreal SPCA&#8217;s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/en\/services\/sterilization-clinic\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">low-cost sterilization clinic<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.spca.com\/en\/supporting-the-community\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">pet food bank.<\/a><\/p><p>Allowing dogs to ride on buses would also give them more opportunities for exercise and socialization, thus reducing their risk of developing undesirable behaviours. By contributing to the creation of a more socialized, well-adjusted and better trained dog population, such a measure would also promote public safety.<\/p><p>Lastly, this measure would encourage the use of public transit instead of cars, thus supporting the environmental objectives of the City of Montreal.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>A successful experiment in the metro<\/strong><\/p><p>The STM\u2019s pilot project in the metro, which ran from 2022 to 2024, proved that harmonious cohabitation between dogs and public transit users is possible. Over the two-year span of the project, the STM did not document a single dog bite case, nor any substantiated complaints of soiling or damage caused by dogs. According to a survey conducted by the STM in September 2023, 70% of transit users were in favour of allowing dogs in the metro.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>An international trend<\/strong><\/p><p>Several major cities around the world, including Calgary, Toronto, Copenhagen, London, Boston, Lyon, Amsterdam, Berlin, Rome and Helsinki, already allow dogs on their bus networks.<\/p><p>\u201cWe invite Montrealers to show their support so that their city can be added to this list,\u201d concludes Ms. Gaillard. \u201cIt could even set a precedent for other cities in Quebec. At the Montreal SPCA, we consider animals to be full-fledged members of our communities, and this is why our organization considers dogs\u2019 access to public transit a priority issue.\u201d<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p style=\"text-align: center;\">\u2013 30 \u2013<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p><p><strong>Source:<\/strong> Montreal SPCA www.spca.com\/en\/<\/p><p><strong>Media information:<\/strong><\/p><p>T\u00f6k communications 514-247-0526<\/p><p>Marie-H\u00e9l\u00e8ne Avon, mariehelene@tokcommunications.ca<\/p><p><strong>About the Montreal SPCA<\/strong><\/p><p>Founded in Montreal in 1869, the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (now known simply as the Montreal SPCA) was the first animal welfare organization in Canada.
