MAXIMUM SENTENCE for BRIAN WHITLOCK, over death of CAPTAIN the German Shepard E action


http://www.causes.com/actions/1727725-maximum-sentence-for-brian-whitlock-over-death-of-captain-the-gsd?recruiter_id=176699967&token=eR2-_j8t2j2ozF2y6HMltWdz&utm_campaign=activity_invitation_mailer%2Factivity_invitation&utm_medium=email&utm_source=causes



This petition is in honour and memory of Captain, a 2-year-old German Shepherd dog, who was discovered on July 18, 2012 wrapped in a bloody sheet and left in a dumpster in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada.


Captain was a two year old German Shepherd dog who was discovered on July 18, 2012 wrapped in a bloody sheet and left in a dumpster in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. When Captain was found he was emaciated, and had also been stabbed and brutally beaten with a heavy chain and baseball bat, being rendered quadriplegic and with brain hemorrhaging. Despite the best efforts of those caring for him, Captain passed away from cardiac arrest shortly after being rescued from the dumpster.

Brian Whitlock, Captain's owner, was charged with "wilfully causing unnecessary pain, suffering, or injury to an animal" contrary to Section 445.1(1)(a) of the Criminal Code of Canada.

Captain suffered horribly. Captain was beaten, stabbed, and starved, and was still living, when he was thrown into a dumpster.

What was done to Captain was an act of violent cruelty.

Anybody who would do this to a defenseless animal deserves the exact same fate as that animal.

I'm not blowing smoke. I would stick the needle in this asshole's arm without a second thought.

I'd only be sorry he suffered less than the dog did.
