Caro18 0 Posté(e) le 13 juin 2008 Procès : Des animaux maltraités Pierre Richard Le Journal de Montréal 12/06/2008 09h46 Accusé de négligence criminelle envers plusieurs chiens, un poney et un cheval, l'avocat Benoît Tremblay entame le dernier droit des procédures entreprises contre lui. Le 5 février 2007, la SPCA de la Montérégie effectuait une saisie des 18 chiens, du poney et du cheval qui se trouvaient au 1425, rang Salvail sud, à La Présentation, la résidence de l'avocat Benoît Tremblay. Ce soir-là, le poney était déplacé, tout comme le cheval, la SPCA soutenant qu'il n'y avait pas d'abris adéquats pour ces deux animaux sur la ferme de l'avocat. Quant aux 18 chiens, ils étaient saisis et étaient examinés par le vétérinaire Michel Léger. Celui-ci, dans un rapport qui était remis à la défense, représentée par Me Pierre Poupart, faisait valoir qu'il a constaté sur un chien une boiterie modérée et une lésion au museau. Sur un autre chien, le médecin notait une « plaie d'origine traumatique au cou » causée par un collier trop serré ainsi qu'une infection causée par ce collier. Un chiot, selon l'expert, avait une quantité importante d'oeufs de vers dans ses selles. Enfin, disait le vétérinaire, tous les chiens manifestaient une peur évidente en présence d'humains et plusieurs d'entre eux avaient des traces de colliers trop serrés. Un chien avait même des marques d'un collier tellement serré qu'il aurait pu provoquer l'étranglement, selon le vétérinaire. http://www2.canoe.com/infos/societe/archives/2008/06/20080612-094603.html Partager ce message Lien à poster Partager sur d’autres sites
Caro18 0 Posté(e) le 13 juin 2008 rappel des faits: Dogs had chains embedded in their necks Monteregie rescue. Pony, horse and 21 dogs recovering with help of SPCA, volunteers KAZI STASTNA, The Gazette Published: Wednesday, February 07 2007 Twenty-one animals found chained outdoors in minus 30 degree temperatures with little food and no water on a property in Monteregie are recovering in the care of the regional SPCA, its director said yesterday. Many of the 18 dogs and one puppy seized on Monday night from the La Presentation residence, 60 kilometres east of Montreal, had open, infected wounds on their necks from the tightly wound chains and old collars used to tie them up, Linda Robertson said. They are to be seen by a veterinarian today, she said. View Larger Image Karen Muller of the Monteregie SPCA shows a husky malamute dog's chain dug into its flesh.

GORDON BECK, THE GAZETTE Email to a friend Printer friendly Font:****"We had to take them with their chains because we couldn't take them off their necks," she said. "A lot of the dogs had the chains embedded." The dogs, which include huskies, a pregnant part-boxer, mixed labradors and a malamute, were found in a field abutting the main house. They were tied with thick, six-metre long chains attached to a metal pole. Although each had a doghouse, the chains were so twisted around the pole that, except for the puppy, they were unable to reach shelter, Robertson said. The only signs of food were several frozen geese carcasses scattered nearby. A pony found chained to a truck on another field along with a horse left to wander freely are being cared for by an SPCA volunteer at her home. The 6-week-old husky puppy has been placed with the SPCA's cats. Provincial police are to question the owner of the property this week and determine whether he will be charged with animal cruelty, in which case the animals would remain at the Monteregie SPCA in Ste. Angele de Monnoir, about 35 kilometres southwest of La Presentation. An SPCA volunteer first noticed the chained animals last week while driving past the property, which, Robertson said, is littered with old cars, trucks, household appliances and other debris that the municipality has warned the owner to clean up on several occasions. After two preliminary surveys of the site, the SPCA decided to intervene Monday night because of the extreme cold and with the help of a search warrant obtained by the Surete du Quebec. "The big concern was shelter, and we never saw any water," Robertson said. The owner arrived as the police and SPCA workers were leaving but "didn't say too much," she said. kstastna@thegazette.canwest.com http://www.canada.com/montrealgazette/news/story.html?id=38db4277-4562-497d-b47d-e3635688f89e&k=96009 Partager ce message Lien à poster Partager sur d’autres sites
