Two situations of extreme cruelty to animals

Nov 03, 2015 Letters

Dear Editor,
I was recently driving through Mcdoom, East Bank, delivering supplies of dog food donated by my Guardian Angel from Toronto, Ian Tenneesee. As I neared the home of Gloria Fernandes, an elderly lady who rescues dogs and loves all animals, I saw her running towards my vehicle with tears streaming down her face. She was pointing at a man on a horse-cart laden with Namilco rice millings, heading for the city. She told me the horse could hardly walk and that she and others had tried talking to the cart-man but he only swore at them and continued on.
I offloaded the dog food with Gloria and in the hot mid-day sun caught up with the owner of the horse-cart. The emaciated horse was struggling to carry the load; over 30 bags of millings bound for John Smith Street, Campbelville. I asked the cart-man to stop, which he did. I told him it was wrong to overload a horse, especially one that appeared to be sick. He recognized his fault and said he usually used a canter but it broke down. I asked him to unload 10 bags and put them in my pickup. He complied and it was amazing the difference it made for the poor horse. I dropped the ten bags off at the address given me. The next day I called Namilico and spoke with one of the managers about their policy in regards to loading horse-carts. He was very nice and promised to make arrangements to avoid overloading horse carts in the future.
In the afternoon of October 26th an animal lover was approaching Peter’s Hall Primary. To his shock and disbelief he saw a man stop and stick his head out of a car window. He saw a box in the man’s hand, which he quickly dropped on the ground spilling out at least 3 small kittens. As the man drove off he ran over one of the kittens and kept going. The observer got the vehicle number of the coward’s car. This incident was posted on Facebook.
