This is the 2nd round of emails to try to get justice. It only takes a minute to do, and all the information is written out..
This NEW fill in the blanks email campaign calls for, an independent external investigation, review under sections 445.1 and 446 of the Criminal Code of Canada.
Under the Criminal Code of Canada, animal cruelty is not simply a regulatory or provincial matter — it can constitute a criminal offence.
Section 445.1 of the Criminal Code states that it is an offence to “wilfully cause… unnecessary pain, suffering or injury to an animal.” The law specifically addresses situations where suffering or injury may have been avoidable or excessive.
Section 446 further addresses situations involving neglect, distress, or injury to animals while they are being handled, transported, or under the custody and control of another person.
Witnesses dscribe a prolonged restraint involving catch poles, visible respiratory distress, gurgling, blood from the mouth and nose, and a fatal outcome.
These reported circumstances raise legitimate questions as to whether the threshold for review under sections 445.1 and/or 446 of the Criminal Code of Canada has been met.
