The World Animal League Defense League in their 2014 Report Rank Laws cite that “Quebec Remains Best Province to be an Animal Abuser”.
The Human Society International Canada also indicates that Quebec is Canada’s puppy mill capital.
The Montreal SPCA reports for the year 2013, of 2,846 animal inspection, only 195 animals were seized. Is this data skewed and includes large scale seizers?
Anthony Abbondanza of the The Chronicle, a Montreal suburban newspaper, wrote on a September 02nd 2014 article entitled “West Island: animal heaven or abuser haven?”.In the article he stated ”in the West Island, and more specifically Dorval, DDO, Kirkland, and Ile Bizard-Ste. Genevieve where legislation exists, fines to animal abusers do not exceed $300
Currently there are three cases in Montreal where a family of three person have been charged with 38 counts each under the Criminal Code of Canada Sections 445.1.1A and 446.1.B2. The defendants are: Margarita Golsaya Case #113113914 - Sergei Vorobiev Case #113113906 and Alexander Vorobiev Case #113113898.
The prosecutor of this case is Mr. Gerard Lague and since he is the custodian and the people’s representative of the law, I am requesting that there should be no plea bargaining in this case. I am also requesting that the prosecutor, reminds the court of Section 447 where the judge has the authority of order prohibition and or restitution. The defendants should be life-timed banned from not having dogs, not to be around dogs, no participation in the showing of dogs, no involvement in dog breeding activities, not to be engaged in any club activities that relates to dogs,and immediate families should not be involved in owing any dogs. The maximum sentences of fines and jail time should be applicable and such that the court may find.
These persons were charged since lSeptember 2013 has been delayed over and over and its time that the case should be heard.
It is time that animal abusers know that if they continue to break the law, the crime will be punished to the full extent of the law.
