Blainville Fox Terrier case

Finally, some GOOD news for once! Laporte, the guy who was breeding Fox Terriers in his house in Blainville, was sentenced yesterday for animal cruelty.

Laporte got a $2000 fine, 200 hours community service, and three years probation during which he is not allowed to own a dog.

Best of all - the red collar dogs are safe (these were the dogs he tagged when they were being taken away and he said he loved them sooo much, he wanted them back!). He will not get the dogs back & if he even tries to contact the foster families, he will be arrested.

Hopefully, other judges will use this case when deciding on sentencing criminals in animal cruelty - may this case set an example!

Je viens juste de prendre connaissance de cette nouvelle, et c'est fantastique ! Quelle excellente nouvelle qui me donne le goût de continuer à m'impliquer encore plus dans cette cause. Je vais trouver le nom du juge et prendre le temps de lui écrire un mot de remerciement !
