There is a very sad animal cruelty case in Duncan BC. The dog was tied by a short chain in its own waste. It was starved and neglected and the chain was deeply embedded in the neck.
Sadly the dog only survived two days after its rescue.

How did no one notice the dog sooner. Even a few days might have made a difference.
What really strikes me is how small the penalty is for such cruelty. They could end up with a fine of a few thousand dollars.
They could get jail time, but even that would be short. They are unlikely to get a jail sentence.
Our laws are just too weak to protect animals from lives of suffering.
