The Jane Goodall Act is a piece of Canadian legislation aimed at protecting animals in captivity. It was originally introduced by Senator Murray Sinclair in 2020 and reintroduced to the Canadian Senate by Senator Marty Klyne in March 2022. The proposed bill contains new legal protections for captive big cats, bears, wolves, seals, sea lions, walruses, certain monkeys, and reptiles, such as crocodiles and giant pythons. It would also phase out elephant captivity in Canada.
