PrideInThisTeam Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 The two pit bulls who were dragged behind a pick up truck in Nanaimo last Friday are back with their owners today. Police said the owners are related to the man who allegedly dragged the dogs, a puppy and an adult, behind his truck. Const. Gary O’Brien with the Nanaimo RCMP said the dogs were dragged 600 to 700 feet and it appeared their leashes had been tied to the bumper. The pit bull puppy, who is between six and eight months old, was not able to keep up, and O’Brien said when the dog was found it was so badly injured, people thought it was dead. However, both dogs are doing better and O’Brien said it looks like they are going to make a full recovery. A 27-year-old Nanaimo man has now been arrested. He was later released on a promise to appear and charges of causing unnecessary suffering to an animal under the Criminal Code of Canada have been recommended, but he has not been charged at this time. One of his release conditions is to have no contact with animals. His first court appearance is set for September 3 in Nanaimo Provincial court . Did a search and didn't see it posted, thought I'd share this one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkyard Dog Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Wow. He should be tied up and dragged by a truck to see how it feels and then thrown in a tub of lemon juice to greatly increase the pain and then thrown in jail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blackberries Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Not sure what you mean by "SPCA dropped the ball here" What does this have to do with the SPCA? Its not like they knew this idiot was going to tow animals behind his truck. Realistically the owner wasn't the one who commited the crime, just because they are related to the guy doesn't mean they are unfit to be owners.

Aladeen Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 Doesnt matter the spca can take away custody if they feel living arrangements are unsafe for the animal. How can they say it will be any different now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
diesel_3 Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 And it's the Pitbull breed that gets a bad name... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 um cause the police arrested the culprit and he now has a court order to stay away from animals (the guy wasn't the owner). It would be like saying child services should take away children from their parents because a relative assulted their kids. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If they are related do u really expect either of them to respect a court order about the animals when they will be seeing each other in the future? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 you think the owners are ever going to let that psycho near their dogs again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aladeen Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I'd like to believe the owner wouldn't but because they are related Im not so sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackberries Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 If you have some proof to say the owner played a role in this then by all means please share it with the rest of us and the authorities, however until such time, being related to a criminal is not a criminal offence.

D.B Cooper Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 I never said it was and your missing the point. I never said the owner was involved but because they are family I doubt that the owner and the perpetrator will cease contact and eventually I wonder if the owner wont let their guard down in terms of protecting the pet from the perp.
